Id say the 1 7/8" Texas Speed Headers for 500 bucks I don't think you can go wrong the size of the header won't hurt anything on a 346ci but if you would decide to go bigger in motor size in the future u won't have to buy headers again.

i believe one of the sponsors on here is still having a sale on their hooker headers, look around in the sponsor section
edit: heres the hooker sale https://ls1tech.com/forums/sponsor-s...-blow-out.html

could also look up the ebay ones, 200 bucks shipped for stainless headers

I've heard lots of complaints from the ebay stuff not fitting that well. Checkout the TSP 1 7/8" headers if your needing big tube headers, or the Pacesetter headers & TSP y pipe if your looking for a 1 3/4" setup

TSP has the best header for the money. Don't waste your time with the Ebay ones. Fitment isn't good and the tube they use seems to be thinner then any other headers I've seen.

I just ordered the Edelbrock 13/4x 17/8 Victor comp headers for 400.00 shipped. These are the Tritech coated with the welded collector. I ordered them from the Edelbrock on line store. This is a great deal!!. These headers have made good power on peoples builds.
