I have a set of hooker headers but they're for a 351C. Not sure they'd bolt up

My old 300 is pushing 400k and every 5-10k miles I'd be 3-4 quarts low, never smoked, just liked it's oil

Cleveland headers will not fit a Windsor.

Your 300 is short on oil at 10,000 miles?
How far do you go between changes???

Thank you, I didn't think so but wasn't 100%.

And my 300, the truck was beat the body shot, frame rotted out and patched. So I didn't too much care about oil changes, I'd add oil ever now and then but other than that, I drove and beat the heck out of it, and it wouldn't quit, can still go turn the key and fire it up

This brings a smile to my face.

Someone (Bruno, I think) posted yesterday that these engines are tougher than boot leather.

Buddy with an early mustang that had the I6, he was always letting it run low on oil it seemed, but it would just start ticking. He would just add oil when it started ticking and all was well...
