Re: quick header question

i wouldn't buy super cheap headers, because they are almost guaranteed to leak over time. i'm sure you can find a pair of hedmen headers for like $250 that are pretty good. depending on your budget though...

where are you in livermore?

Re: quick header question

Ive been looking at these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1967-...Q5fAccessories There stainless and at a good enough price that if they don't fit perfectly i'm willing to cut them and weld them until they do.
