The difference is pretty good. I'd definitely recommend them. They are also way easier to put on. Here is a comparison on my '71 Valiant:

WELCOME, Son Of Sam...He may not want to admit it, but badvaliant is my oldest son, finally on the site.
Although the instructions say to, we did NOT have to take anything loose on the suspension. We lifted one side of the motor at a time to tilt it, and turned the steering wheel all the way toward whatever side we were working on and they slid right up in. We cut the old drivers side cheap headers off with a sawsall.
I have a customer rebuilding his 51 Chevy into a bagged lowrider and the object of his car is to be able to crush a soda can LOL welcome to the forum even though you're the son of Sam LOLThe difference is pretty good.

Hedman block huggers
Why won't they fit? Txstang84 has some hedman block huggers on his scamp. I personally saw them.
SS Exhaust Headers Manifold for Chrysler LA Small Block Hugger Mopar 318/340/360 | eBay
Just cut my old headers off to install these . Nice looking , look well made.
TO BAD THEY DON'T FIT THE DRIVERS SIDE.
So don't buy these.

Look at um. How can they fit?
Well, you know , they fit the head great, and almost clear the steering box. With some persuasion , I might be able to get them to clear. But if not then they wont take em back all beat to fuk.![]()
What about hooking up the exhaust pipe ? All clear ?Pic of hedman 78500 . The one on the left side of the pic goes on the left side of the engine. I have em mocked up on my 67 with a 318 mockup long block. They fit just fine

LOL Those headman shorties I linked to are supposedly made for the later A body, although I've never seen anyone report that they fit. As badly as we need a good affordable header, you'd figure there'd be feedback on um.
Do you have a part number for those headers ?The difference is pretty good. I'd definitely recommend them. They are also way easier to put on. Here is a comparison on my '71 Valiant:
