I would imagine it's 2 piece, the set I had on mine were, although rusted together, but I don't have a clue as to manufacturer.

has anyone bought headers for their highboy from jc whitney. i found some on there in the flowtech section for $119. it says they are aluminized but i don't think they are for $119 and i don't trust jc whitney that much

highboy header

i have a set of headman ceramacoat headers on my 74 highboy. they are of one piece design. all headers i ever bought from jc whitney were junk and lasted a year. i drive mine eveyday including winters(i live in ny) and they still look new.

..............The best set of headders made for a 351m\400 are the Sanderson shorties . Ceramic coated inside and out . They are actually made for the 351 cleveland but come with a thick copper gasket that will down size the port area to match the smaller ports of the 351m\400 . About 500 to your door but very well made........(800-669-2430 , PST)......sk

The set I had were one piece. (360/390) You had to lift the engine to get one of them in. It burned up the starters regularly because it was so close.
