I know I'm not answering your question, but if you do a search you'll find that a lot of guys end up regetting getting shorties. They aren't much better flowing than stock and they are a real pain to install. You can't go wrong getting long tubes.

You get what you paid for sticks true. Shorties are junk and a PITA to install. I have tried them all and Kooks stainless LT's are the ones I carry. There is a down side to every other brand I have tried. Dennis has some old shorties I took off his truck. He'd probably sell them for >$100 bucks if price is your game.

There is only one good choice, unfortunately they are expensive.
Kooks.

Maybe when the mod motor has been around as long as the push rod motor there will be options, but there isn't now.

Just like intake manifolds for carbs versus TBI FI, 4x the price for the later on my K5, and it is 20 years old, so don't hold your breath for a cheaper header.
