400 big block + my 71 Demon

if you arent going for big power the schumacher headers are a great option. tti makes a 1 3/4 full length that works pretty good. they arent great for big power either though. i used them on 2 a bodies. they work with power steering. tight fit but it works. some guys have had some luck beating up a pair of b body hedmans to work with the b motor. a cheap option. there are some other options too. its a bolt in, off the shelf swap with what is available these days. go for a new truck stock mini starter right off the bat. dont mess around with those big old starters. too tight with the headers and just suck up the heat. with the b motor most intakes can fit under a flat hood with some kind of air cleaner. you can find plenty of useful info on bigblockdart.com
