    Re: WHAT HEADERS TO USE

    JBAs work fine.  My only install issue was related to the Borgesson steering box hitting the header on the LH side.  They would clear a stock box no problem, and I've had no issues with the clutch cable.

    Re: WHAT HEADERS TO USE

    JBA 1650's are the better header, However the parent company also makes Patriot headers. The Patriot SBF shorty is a direct copy of the 1650 as far as shape and fit, the header flange and tube wall thickness are thinner though. For a budget part with very good fitment the Patriots aren't a bad choice
    Miss May (1965 2+2 w/331) has 1650's while the 73 vert (306) uses Patriots

    Re: WHAT HEADERS TO USE

    I'd skip the headers and use hi-po manifolds. Using stock parts is enough work.
