Any recommendations for building a '73 340?

Ain't happenin. You have only two choices for GOOD headers that FIT and don't hang low. Dougs and TTI. Though Dougs are a little cheaper, they are around 800. The TTI will be around 1000. If you backed off maybe to a 350 HP goal, you could run exhaust manifolds and the 340 intake and save some money, although not as glamorous.

Spitfires no bueno?

If i go over a little I'll just have to pull out the plastic and make monthlies. I'm just trying not to get into the 6-10k range. 5k total or below, I think i'll be alright.


Wait until Autozone has a 20% coupon. I was able to get a pair of new D453 ceramic coated Doug's headers for $475 shipping to my door back in January. They also had free shipping on orders over $100.

That's a good idea.
