new headers
I have this in the other forum, but i think i should of put it in here...I have a 1968 f100 360cid, 2 bbl. I want to get new headers, mine are all rusty and i think there cracked. I dont want to spend that much on them but i want some HP increase and a better exhuast sound out of them. Probably just like 200$ or less i guess, thanks... and if u could tell me a good place to get em..

If you want some dirt cheap headers that perform well I would recommend the flowtech brand. They have 1 3/4" tubes and a 3" collector. They seem to be constructed pretty well and sound great. I used them with my 72 truck heads and my edelbrock heads. They mounted up perfectly to both. I have also had no leaking problems. You can get them from autozone for about 100 bucks. If you want a slightly better header I hear the hedmans are pretty decent. They are about $135 from summit.

FE, I like the sound of cast iron too, is this the manifold you used?

Mounted upside down eh, then what did you do, leave the hood off and run a pair of stacks?

No when mount upside down the outlet face horizontal so the pipe work is pretty simple
