Re: 454 Headers

Hooker has them, PN 7521-1HKR, ceramic coated, according to their website.

I'd call them directly to insure they will fit your application even though they are listed to fit.

Also, be aware that if you move your engine from the stock mounting position none of them will work without some tweaking either of the headers or frame.

No matter what header you choose, I highly recommend purchasing ceramic coated headers to prevent under hood heat from heat soaking the starter and also cooking your wiring.

Would also recommend copper gaskets and pay attention to the header flange thickness, where they bolt to the engine. The thicker, the better. Just my opinion.

I swapped in headers before ceramics became available and ended up having to mount a "Furd" solenoid on the inner fender well to get starter to work due to heat soaking of the starter.

Engine Masters did a test on heat transfer of coated vs un-coated headers and the under hood heat transfer from the two headers was HUGE!

Good luck!
