Re: headers on street cars

Will the new Edelbrock headers take care of this problem? Do they make them 
for the late 60's American body style? I thought about trying to lift the 
front of the car a bit or put heavier coils on it in attempt to get a little 
more ground clearance since I am fixing mine up to look like an old drag car 
any way.
