'85 460 header recommendations

I am ready to get rid of the stock exhaust manifolds on my trucks recently rebuilt 460.

I am looking for a recommendation, short tube, long tube, brand, etc.

I have:

460, C6, 2WD, 3.55LS

Engine is rebuilt, but essentially stock. The headers will be first, but in the next 2-3 months, I plan to do headers, a camshaft, and a new carb.

I use the truck to tow a car trailer currently, but I am building a '68 to take over that job. I am not looking for a race car, I'd like plenty of low end power as I'd still like to be able to tow the trailer on longer trips (the '68 doesn't have AC, power-anything, etc)

I am doing the exhaust first for sure, my current manifolds are so badly burned up they don't hardly seal....

I have had L&L's tripple nickle plated headers on my 1980 pulling truck w a 429 for over 10 years. NEVER leaked And NO RUST. Well worth the extra money. Put them on and be done with it, never worry about it again. L&L Products
