I have a unused set of Hooker SuperComp 6203 I'd sell.  They have some shelf wear and one of the collector flanges has a minor bend.  I would need to get $400+ shipping to be willing to let them go.

My first GTS had a 4-speed, I took a automatic set and had the rear pipe cut and re-positioned so the Z-bar linkage would clear.

For that price I definitely would go fpa. Much better clearance and a ball and socket collector.

Hooker used to make the correct headers for your application, but they had stopped making them approximately eight years ago. You might be able to find a used pair for $400.00 to $500.00. There is a pair for sale for $727.54 plus shipping. If you want to see them Click here.

From what I understand FPA makes some really decent headers but they ain't cheap either.

I didn't want to run headers on my 72, but even with Super 44s, the stock manifolds aren't cutting it for me.Still too quiet.

The question is...who has run headers on 72-73 351c 4 speed cars with NO clearance or fitment issues, and what headers were they? Thanks.
