Question Equal Length Shorty headers worh it?

Hey everyone, had a question to ask. Im lookin at a set of Bassani equal length shorty headers for my 91 f150 2wd 5.0. Ive read that these headers will provide more torque, but ive also read that they are a nightmare when it comes to spark plug placement, plug wires burning and what not due to all the bends of the head pipes. Are these headers even worth the headaches?
Thanks for the help

Chris

I have a 70 f-100 with a 351w. I am having a heck of a time looking for a set of headers that will fit. I have a post in f-100's 67-72 that I just posted. Boy.... if you could help that would be great!

well ive put the shorty headers on years that they dont even say they fit and they clear everything easily, just by there design they usualy clear, there decently tight to the block and dont drop that much further then manifolds. really like them personaly. bet they would probly fit for you
