All stainless headers are expensive, but guess like someone else said they will out last your motor, maybe even the car lol

I bought the Dynatech Headers and they fit great. They do hang down a little low, but for the price they are a great header. I used the Dirty Dingo adjustable engine mounts with my swap and they fit great. Check my build thread for pictures of the Dynatech headers.

I have a set of used Dynatechs that I would let go for pretty cheap. I tried them on my aftermarket subframe for my second gen and the drivers side hit the frame. These are in good shape for the most part, few scrapes on the bottom. They were on a 69 before I bought them. PM me if you want some for about half price.

Another thing about dynatech is that I've seen pictures of them that hang below the subframe, haven't seen any installed pictures of the stainless works.

So does anybody here have any of these headers and would like to share how they fit, and what mount plates where used with the dynatech to get them to work?
Hey I can tell you that Dyna tech are 17.5 inches from center of the port to the bottom of the collector measured at the bell housing. I have another post in this section where i am developing a set of headers for the LS conversion that will fit the Heidts subframe, DSE and stock.

just checked out your thread and it seems like they hang just a tad higher than the dynatechs.

I am using the Dirty Dingo double D plates in the middle hole.

On my 72 Nova i have the Dynatechs bolted up - not running yet. I am 99% certian i will be selling them and going with a different header. IMO they hang too low to be used with my ride height. Less than 4 inches.

Thats my concern, i think mine will be riding low as well, if it doesnt ill make it ride low lol. I plan on going with a torque arm setup, either bmr or speed tech
