65 headers?

Hey
i got some headman headers that i am not exactly pleased with
aside from them being kind of an eye sore, they are very much close to impossible to get a wrench to. i don't exactly work on my headers all the time, but i swear to god i don't know how i got them of and on the last time i did it. due to a lot of patience and ingenuity on my part and a couple of friends of mine, we got those suckers off. i don't know if it's because they are damaged or because that's how they are designed but either way i want new ones. I plan on getting some Edelbrock Heads so i want something that can take advantage of the exhaust ports on that. is it the same as stock? i saw that someone put 351 heads on their 302, is that a 'nono' or a taboo thing to do? because that seems like a good way to get a cheap set of better flowing heads, am i wrong?

anyway i was hopeing that you could help me find a set of headers that someone has preferably one for Power Steering and short; since i need that precious clearance space! . anyway i am sorry if this has been answered too many times to count, but i either am incompetent at searching or i don't know where to find this answer. thanks

Danny: That is part of the reason i am looking for a slightly lower compression ratio with better flow for future upgrades.

Stangninjak & 1320stang: So bassically if i geta pair of 69 windsor heads and a set of 351 swap headers from like BBK is what i can see on summit racing. i need shorties, but i don't want to sacrifice being able to take my headers off.

Does anyone with Headman Shorties have dificulty using even a very small box wrench?

also what cam would be preferable for a pair of 351w heads to keep a nice idle while roaring a bit more ?

hi, sorry to bring this back, but i didn't really get these last questions answered and i am going to go ahead and slap on the 69 heads i have on my 289 until i get the rest of the 351w going.

just for clairity's sake.

my big questions are. will i see a performance increase if i get a new cam?

do i need 351w swap headers?

and lastly what cam should i get for an otherwise stock 4barrel 289. ( everything i have is in sig ) ? i'm going to come into enough money to get this swap done this weekend so i want to jump ahead and do some work on my car while i still have the Time to do so. i saw a lot of people with 69 351w heads in their sig. help me out guys !! i know you're there and i gotta say i love this forum!!

thanks, that's what i thought because of the deck height of the block, but someone in this thread even said they thought i would need them. Thanks 1320, you're my hero to debunk what i was thinking .

now i just have to find an affordable cam and i'll be set..i suppose heh.
