judging by his s/n I'd guess he has his LT1 in probably a 944 or something, something tells me he can't run longtubes. Just my wild guess though.

CamarOcorey is exactly correct. I cant run long tubes I need a set of shortys that hug the block. And I would hate to purchase a set of mid lengths and they not fit. If I cannot find a set there is a set of LT that I can buy for About $800 but not really wanting to spend that much.

Check out summitracing.com or see if any sponsors sell them, but Hooker super comp shorties look to be the most "block hugging" out of all the shorty headers. Most of the brands have pics, so just go take a look.

Did you check on the hooker supercomps?
