76 Hi Boy FE Headers

So I know this has been hashed many times, but I would like to hear thoughts on different brands including custom headers.
Possibly even shorties, along with thoughts on starters, wraps, etc.
I am building this project for a daily driver so I don’t particularly like the idea of burning up starters on a regular basis.

How much do you want to spend??

There's plenty of room for air flow.
I seriously doubt you'll be burning up starters.

I went with Sanderson FF427-P Headers plain steel and painted them myself. I had an exhaust leak being gasketless so I now run remflex gaskets to the block. Paired up with those headers I have a PMGR starter, specifically the Summit 829406 starter, which looks like it has been replaced by https://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-829407. This post shows the wiring needed if you run this type of starter.
