is there any shorty hedders for my 71 mustang 429 application? block-huggers?

hi everybody i am doing the 460 swap into my 73 mach 1. all i need to complete the swap and "JUST" have it running is hedders. i got everything else except brackets.

i know there is hooker hedders and crites hedders out there. however crites restoration tells me that there is only a 5 inch ground clearance on a stock height car. well my car is lowered 3.5 inches, so i would be only 1.5 inches off the ground and that would suck cuz i will scrap on everything. even a little dip.

so my question is, is there possibly a shorty hedder out there for the 71 429 application because I LOVE MY 73 MACH 1 BEING A LOW-RIDER. IT FLAT OUT LOOKS COOL AND HANDLES NICE AS WELL. i know i will already need the 750 springs to replace the 66 mustang 620 springs to be the same height. i just really don't want to change it to stock height cuz that will make me change all springs against except just the fronts and stock height on our mach's really don't look that great to be honest. it looks like our car's nose is up alot higher than the back. it looks nice tilted a lil.

any luck with block-huggers into application? or any kind of shorty hedders? i know there is truck shorty's however i don't think they will work cuz trucks have a bitch load more room to work with.

oh **** this is awesome then. so you are using them on your 69 460 right? well i have more room in my 73 than you do so it should work with my application. could you give me a number of this place and the price of these bad boys. however they are chrome or powercoated? how is the clearance though? do you still have good clearance for the wires not to be burned. is it diffucult to put those plugs in. ARE THESE JUST SHORTIES OR BLOCKHUGGERS TO BE EXACT?

WHAT SIZE TUBES ARE THEY?

this is completely great, i could still have big-block power with hedders and still be a low-rider. thanks man.

hook me up with some info on the company and etc. thanks. AND YES SEND PICS WITH THEM ON THE MOTOR!!!!!!!!!
