Hooker Super Comps ceramic coated. If you do get them you will need a power steering adapter to get the ram to sit lower... if you have power steering that is.

thanks kevin.will the super comps bolt right up or will they need some modifacations to fit?i've heard of some horror stories about trying to put on headers.
Ok, I personally haven't tried this, but I've heard from a very reliable ford friend about this site. Ajusa.com You can order your headers and specify your engine size, automatic or manual, etc. and these ceramic coated, pre-bent headers will be sent to your door for about $360 shipped. It sounds too good to be true, but I think it's well worth looking into.
ajusa is a good site. I would do the Hooker Super comps. Now you have a 1969 you may not need the power steering drop bracket. I didn't need it on my as the steering is integrated. The super comps are lower though so make sure to check it out first.
I have Hooker Super Comps in my 70 and I have a 428cj with a C6. I didn't have to do any modifying but it was a very tight squeeze. The only part that I think could be a problem... well at least in my situation was that the shift linkage on the C6 comes a little close to the collector but that was easily bent and it works fine. I am not for sure on the 351 but I can't imagine it being any worse than my setup. As for horror stories it was a pain to get the engine and headers in but that was more the 428's cause.
