Howdy, all! I'm interested in opinions and experience with some headers. I'm going to put a 318 from a 74 Dart into my 64 Valiant. Quite some time ago a member had a set of real Spitfire headers for this application, but they sold to someone else. Fast forward to today, and it turns out the Spitfires did not sell and are available. However, in the meantime I got a set of block hugger headers for this combo, they are squirreled away in Parts Mountain. They look like these.
The Spitfires look like this.
This will be just a fun street car, the 318 is planned for a set of standard Speedmaster heads, LD340 intake, SFT cam at about 224* @.050 with .470 lift, HEI ignition, about 10:1 compression on a stock bottom end.
Does anyone have experience with either of these headers, and if so what are the pro's/con's to them? I'm guessing the rest of the exhaust will be 2.5" duals out the back.
