Headers for my 292 Y-Block

ANYTHING is better than that heat sink cross over exhaust. Just be sure to keep the plug wires away and you'll be fine with headers. A set of smithys mufflers are a requirement as well. They really sound great, not too loud , not too quiet,

you may also, consider Rams Horns...I was looking into putting them on my 239Yblock...John from Ford-Y-block sells them for about 375.00 They are great for any clearence issues...something I learned, as far as headers go, paying extra isn't such a bad idea...with headers you tend to get what you pay for...I had a nice pair on my 239Flattie, applied the smithy's...sounded great like Big say's!

For the money Low is right on, you can not beat ram horns. They fit, no wiring issues , no rotting headers or leaky flanges.
If money is tight headers are a cheap way to go with good performance.
I have both and like both, prefer rams but like the sounds of both with smithys mufflers and you will too.
