Cracked manifold--thime for headers?
I could use some suggestions for headers. Got a '70 350 stepper. Is tri-y the weapon of choice?

What exhaust manifold do you need? I have a passenger side if you want it for 40.00 shipped.

Re: Cracked manifold--thime for headers?
My truck came with headman headers, fit nice. Only thing I would have done differently is I would have bought them ceramic coated as they will last longer as well as they look better.
IMO dont go cheap on headers. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Cracked manifold--thime for headers?
Are you making enough power to justify the extra pain of headers? Unless you are making a lot of power, I'd go back with a manifold. If you do get headers, as said before do not go cheap. First set I ever owned cost $56 in 1984 from Summit. They lost paint at the first startup and within a month were leaking and rusty. A year later we put the manifolds back on and it was much nicer. My dad tried to tell me, but I wouldn't listen.

Re: Cracked manifold--thime for headers?
depends where manifold is cracked// there r some temp halfass repairs that will hold up quite well for a number of years for a little to no cost solution
if you by headers quality is worth the money

Re: Cracked manifold--thime for headers?
Agree. Headers are a waste of time & money unless your engine can make proper use of them. Good used manifolds are easy to find.
