So I know Langdon's has the short cast iron headers, and then there are several long tube headers on the market.

I've seen many inliners/stovebolters recommend fenton (for the 235 series), and Langdons (for the 230 series), but why?

I get superior durability versus mild steel long tube headers, and better fitment with the shorties...

What are the differences in performance between the short cast headers and the long-tube?
Stock 230 in a 1954 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup, street use, not a daily driver, but in the restoration process. I eventually plan on rebuilding the engine for a little more power... but finances don't allow at the present time.

Thanks fellas!
