Default Re: header install question

has anyone ever used a pair of long tube 5.0 headers on a 351w swap? or will it just not work?

It can be MADE to work, but it won't be easy.

It will take extensive heating and bending to get 5.0 headers on a 351w.

Most who have reported trying this, have reported regretting it.
