Headers?
Please don't shoot me down to bad
I am going to put headers on my 390 while it is out
Which would be better long tube headers or shorty headers?
and wich would be the best for a 1969 F-100 truck?
Thanks

Long tubes will be a bigger improvement, especially with ported heads. I ran into one header(Dynomax coated) issue with my '66 with MT. The clutch release fork hit the collector, I had to modify the fork(picture in gallery) to clear. You might not have that problem in your '69.

Anyway, on my '70 F100 I have Hedman headers. They work ok. If I had it to do again however, I'd spend the extra $$$ and get the ceramic coated units.
