Headers, exhaust?

I've finally started up my fresh build motor last night. It started right up. I want to install headers after breakin. It is a 1985 460 4X4 supercab longbox with 4-speed manual and 4.11 gears. It is bored .030", straight up timing, ported heades w/oversize stainless valves, roller rockers, .514/.524 cam, edelbrock rpm intake, edelbrock 750 cfm carb, no smog, and currently stock exhaust manifolds. Need help choosing headers and exhaust system. It will occasionally tow, but I do want strong acceleration. Thanks.

L&L long tubes seem like the best bang for the buck to me. Can be found on the sponsor to the the left, "bronco graveyard".

I would certainly look for long tubes though if your going to the trouble of doing headers.
