shorty block huggers. speedway motors has em about the cheapest. i,d use hi-perf cast iron stock manifolds personalls, less trouble and last forever.

I prefer the cast iron manifolds as well, but you probably don't have 'em that's why your looking for headers! Seems like those shorty block huggers fit the best in just about anything.

If you go to the link below, you can see what the block hugger headers look like in my M715. If you have any questions let me know.

Here's the place I got my replica Corvette Cast Manifolds from:
http://stores.ebay.com/1A-Auto-Inc-All-y....5QQftidZ2QQtZkm
They were cheap (Less than headers), they appear to be good quality, and have not leaked yet. I would look through and see if they have anything you can use for your BBC. You will need to know a factory application though.

I don't know about the coolant tank, but I like the way it fits.
I am using my stock 1966 396 iron manifolds and they work great. They look real close to the ones on the E-Bay store you linked us to.

Chris, I have an extra set of bbc manifolds from my 1st 366 if you'd like.
