Re: shorty headers
Not much to say here, I must have a super starter, I've ran my 390 with hedders for over 8 years now and I've never burned up a starter. I replaced it 2 years back since I had the engine out anyways. No wrap or nothing for protection. Can't figure it out but I'm not complaining. Perhaps different makes of hedders run a bit tighter on the starter? I'm running full length ceramic heddman hedders, look good and sound great, you might wanna look at those.

It is more important to understand what you don't know than what you do know,because then you can start to learn..???

I would assume so. I don't think there would really be anything in the way from the looks of them, but...I don't know. Never had any experience with cast iron shorty headers, so it's all speculation. I'm going to email them to try and find out, though!
