Title: Sanderson Headers? Anyone have any experience?

Sanderson Headers?  Anyone have any experience?

For the 454 I put in my Jimmy I purchased some really nice coated Hedman Headers and while they look great and perform well, there are three spark plug boots that are always close to the header tubes.  Of course I run quality wires and use the high heat carbon fiber boot sleeves but over time everything gets cooked.

I was looking into Sanderson Headers and these would be for the 454 going into my 1978 Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4.

This one states it has excellent spark plug clearance,

These are Cast Headers

Some other styles they have available, not too interested in them but open to everyone's feedback and experience.  I'm also thinking about installing a one piece tilt front end if any type of header would be better or worse for this setup let me know.

You may have a ground clearance issue!  ;)

I have the BB8 headers for my 454 powered truck.  Not using the 454 now, so...  They are good parts.  Make sure they list working for a 4x4.
