The huggers will dump right on top of the main crossmember. That and I'm betting that they still won't have clearance against the inner fenderwall, especially on the passenger side.

I've never run hookers, just Dynomaxes and Headmans. Patriot, a division of Pertronix, makes a set of V8 headers and, from what I understand, also a set for the V6 too! Never ueds either, yet. The Dynomaxes are kinda stingy as they really will only work with the MII bellhousings. From what others have been saying and my own findings, the Headmans will clear the full bellhousing and should clear the T-5 bell with minor work. Downside is you'll have to deal with that #1 tube under the crossmember....or you could route it inline with the other 3 tubes, like a Dynomax or Hooker.

MY brother ran the Headmans in his pro street 74. He had the full size C4 bell, and the fit right in. There should be tons of room with a II bell. Not liking the design much, he's recently switched to the Hooker Super Comps. To use them, he dumped the full size C4 setup and went to an MII bell setup. We placed the Hookers in the other night, and they fit perfect. You can even get the starter in and out (he's running the 5.0 mini starter).

I'd want more 351 swap headers. I'm going to need bigger than 1 5/8 primaries, and I'm going to want to run power brakes, so the Hooker swap headers won't do. I'm going custom.
