52 Rat

I currently have a new set of Hooker block hugger headers for my lq4. This engine is in a 52 Chevy truck and I would like to run a full length header but can't seem to find a full length to fit my custom application. My question is, would I see much gain running full length header over the block hugger? My set up is as follows. Stock low mile lq4 with truck intake, T56 six speed with aluminum flywheel, and 342 10.5 ten bolt posi. I am looking for a torque cruiser that will not see any racing. I would like to eventually change the cam mainly for more torque and choppy idle note. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

The long tubes always make more power, however since you have no plans on racing and such, and not to mention you already have the huggers I would just use them. But if you have any plans on making serious power I would go long tubes.

If they offer BBC LTs for that chassis you can use those and weld LSx flanges on
