Finally bought new headers: Dynomax's :-)
well, after much debate, i went ahead and bought a set of dynomax ceramic coated headers. the hookers that were on the engine before were suffering from old age, as the ceramic coating was coming off; not to mention, the headers were preventing my wire looms from going on the engine correctly. so, now my engine's all set up! check it out:

Looks great. One thing I'd make sure of is to break the engine in with the old headers. If you don't the engine could be running lean and heat those headers up too high and then the ceramic will fall off. The companies won't warranty them then.

Engine looks awesome. I'm happy with my Dynomax coated ones. I got the idea from low84 after I saw his! They really have a nice look to them.

Man seeing your engine like this really gets me jealous. I've got a olds 350 with some chrome valve covers and some red paint but that's just not the right thing. I would really like to have a chevy block but the budget will not allow me at this moment.
