briann510 Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 does it matter for clearance issuses when running headers which plug type heads to use? i thought i read somewhere that straight plug heads were the way to go on a 350 sbc. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Straight plug heads are easier, more room for plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briann510 Posted September 27, 2004 Author Share Posted September 27, 2004 So for actual header clearances near the frame etc., it doesnt matter which type of head then as its only plug handling/install ease? i wasnt sure if one type or the other the header fit differently or not (the exhaust ports angled differently or something to that effect.

pparaska Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 There are new block hugger header designs out now (Rewarder, for one) that have a different tube layout that allows room to go for angle plug. It used to be a big deal, but not really any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Juday Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 What Pete says. It's more a function of the header design than head design. I have straight plug heads and with the Flowtech's I have two plugs that are really close. Conversely, we used Patriot blockhuggers on the LT1 (angle plug) swap and they clear the plugs with no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
