Finally bought new headers: Dynomax's :-) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

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:

i got the full lengths... just curious, how long have you had yours?

my engine is a SBC 350, its bored .40 over, its got a hot crane cam, forged pistons, stock crank, stock heads, holley intake and edelbrock carb... everything on the outside of the engine is polished alum, except the alternator (chrome)

low 84 · 01-19-2003, 11:08 PM

had em for about 9 months

Nice. Looks great. I love a beautiful engine.

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.

no problem! the engine is basically broke in... we fired it on the 30th of september... its been timed, valves set and i'm ready to go!

Very nice motor. Where did you get the valve covers?

BigRed · 01-20-2003, 10:05 AM

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.

i got my polished aluminum timing cover, my valve covers, breathers, and polished wire looms all from the same place...
its a small company online; i ran into them on eBay... here's their current auction list:

here's an auction for the SBC covers:

and if eBay is not your thing, they have a website w/ online ordering: http://www.asaperformance.com/

there you go! quality products and great service

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.
