If you want a little more hp and tq put some good headers on it. Be prepared to tune the carb a little more. Tune the distributor as well if you haven't already.
Headers is a he said she said argument. Some like them and some don't. It is up to you.
The 1 3/4 headers should be fine for all but the wildest applications.
I have 2 " and mine rattle off the pass side of the engine bay and one torsion bar (aftermarket 1" bars).
Not bad but it does hit.
I will take 16hp and 22tq every day of the week. And that is just peak. I would imagine gains would be larger in most cases across the curve and hold on longer after peak as well.
Beautiful and ambitious project. Is it a completed running and driving car ?
If more work is needed what would that be?
More details on transmission,rear end,etc.
I am not in the market but I bet it would be a handful and surprise many a fellow.
I have a 440 in my 72 Duster with manual steering and I can vouch for the 2" Tti being tight. Mine rattle of the pass fender and a litt;e off of the PST 1.03 torsion bars.
Depending on the gear ratio and converter I would lean towards a dual plane most likely. Lowish compression and a larger cam = dual plane for low end torque in my book 90% of the time.
Some C bodies run them that way and exit at the corner of the bumper. Pretty sure the wagons did that so maybe b body wagons also.
There are some listed like that on the Tti website.
I want to run it that way on my 72 Newport but don't want to pay what they want for tailpipes. Especially being...
