They are ceramic coated and at the time they cost about $450 (listed at $435 on their site). Model BB3 for a 64-up Chevelle.

Captkaos, what brand and model (part # if possible) are those headers? What years of our trucks are they designed to fit? I'm looking into eventually putting headers on mine and those look a nice, heavy set. For now, when I build the motor, im just going to POR-20 coat the original sandblasted manifolds, but down the road a bit, I'll be looking for headers.

Those headers work for 67-72's w/big blocks as well. I have a set of those but mine are 'appearance challenged' instead of coated.

OK, here are the pics of the body mounts. The first pic is a "side by side" of the way PST says to install them next to the old OEM rubber mounts. The second pic is another "side by side" showing how I think the PST mounts should be installed. The first pic would give me more clearance between the cab and trans, while the second pic gives me about 1/4" of clearance.
I just finished installing them the way the second pic shows, and I am uncomfortable with the 1/4" of clearance I have now. When the BB engine plates arrive, I will install them and see what that does. Another option I have, the PST trans mount states you should use their supplies spacer place between the mount and the trans...if I DO NOT use that I will gain another 1/8" or so of space...something I should try?

I'm not sure what to tell you on the body mounts. I put stock ones back on my truck so I didn't have any trouble figuring out which way to mount them. I can't understand why they would make them close the same shape/size and then tell you to mount them backwards.

Well, I was going to start a new thread for this, but... Here are the pics of the headers bolted up to my 454.
http://www.captkaoscustoms.com/temp/passsidehdr.jpg http://www.captkaoscustoms.com/temp/driversidehdr.jpg http://www.captkaoscustoms.com/temp/drivertophdr.jpg http://www.captkaoscustoms.com/temp/hdrrear.jpg http://www.captkaoscustoms.com/temp/hdrbell.jpg I use PST on all my trucks, and I have NEVER installed them like the top pic shows. That is WRONG! Put them in the way pic 2 shows. I am sure the illustrator put the numbers on everything and apparently didn't put it on there correctly.
