i came across a good deal on a 406 chevy and i want to set it in a fox. will the s-10 headers work on the 406 like they do on the 350? is there a better way? what else will i run into?

run a short shaft 350

we had a lil coupe w/ a flat top 406 w/ box stock brodix heads and a small solid roller cam w/ a 350 tranny w/ a man valve body no brake would run 10.90's-11.0's all day on pump gas on motor

this is just a 406 with good pistons. stock double hump heads????? lmao but hell isn't all sbc heads double hump? IDK! i think i will get a hold of them and clean them up a little. it has a 280 comp cam and a alum intake and thats it. i think i will spray the shit out of it.:nitrous:
