Has anyone looked at whether the straight tube headers would match up to the 289 side pipe with maybe some minor, (or major), modifications? I'm not looking to be period correct, so if I don't have to loose the HP so much the better. I've got both the shorties with the "J" pipe, and I also have the straight tube. Would the straight tube end up too high to be able to mount the 289 side pipe? Could the end of the 289 side pipe be modified to reach the straight tube header, and still drop below the side of the body to run where they are normally? I don't know why I keep doing this to myself, I must be a glutton for punishment!
