hey guys,

I am looking for a set of long headers that have easy access to spark plugs. I've seen lots of recommendations on headers, and right now I'm looking for both cost and ease of use.

I had Flowtech Afterburner's on my '79. Bolts and plugs were good to get to. There was one plug that was a little tight. I just put a set of Thorley Tri-Y's on my Burban. All of the bolts and plugs were easy to get to. They were a little more expensive than the Flowtech's though.
 
I've got Hedmans and the plugs are all cake to get to - easier than it was with manifolds.

Jeff, I too have Hedmans and the access is very easy.

My Dynomax headers give good plug access and are pretty cheap.

I put the Flowtech Afterburners on mine and the plug access isn't bad. I got them for $185 with a LIFETIME WARRANTY at A'zone.
 
Dynomax--only plug that's hard is good ole' number 6!!

Thorleys are the best in my experience... Hookers second....
Dynomax are the best cheapies IMO... But they have a few draw backs

I need to replace my exhaust (a lot sooner than I would prefer) and it looks like the Thorley's or Headmans are what I will be going with. I need to know what I will be looking at as far as A/C bracket fab and any other probs I might run into.
I have a 2wd w/ a new GM crate 350 (the $1200 GM crate).
I will be keeping my true duals w/o any cats, and think I may run Flowmaster 60's, like it to sound good, but not too loud.

Good lord. The rod up that man's butt must have a rod up it's butt.
 
On mine the A/C bracket didn't need any modification at all - I just used a relatively long stud and 3 nuts to secure the bracket where it was originally bolted to the manifold.

I don't think you'll have a problem either... I've got 2 different serpentines on my k5's, and both of them fit long headers without any questions.
