To the best of my understanding, the size of the tube is driven by the cam profile and head design. What does the motor builder recommend?

Anyways, I'm getting ready to do an engine swap and I now realize I have large tube headers. Everything I've read says that small tube headers are the way to go. What are the effects of having too big of headers? I'm just wondering becuase I got such a good deal on these headers, I'd hate to not be able to use them, but at the same time if they're going to cause a lot of problems I don't want that either. I'm looking at putting in a 375 horse crate engine with 400 something ft. lb. of torque. Is this enough power to use the large tube headers without problem? This will be a daily driver. The heads are L-98 corvette heads if that makes a difference. Thanks for any info, input, opinions, etc. Rodney. 71 Chevelle El Mirage, AZ ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
