Re: My new project 86 Silverado
been raining a week, tropical storm will probably cause rain until way into next week.... I wish I had a f'ing garage, ugh...
I sure hope some of you guys out there are having sunshine and can work on your trucks...

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
Are you sure they will fit? I always thought Cutlass headers with some tweaks fit?
Cool video on how they are made, yet they wont help in any HP goals. Too short. Probably better than crusty old stock manifolds.  The collectors are very similar to what Ford has done for years, should work great.

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
hey man, hope all is well...
I think they'll fit, I've thought about the cutlass headers, I've seen a couple sets on lowered trucks like mine with an Olds 350/403/455 swapped in place of the 350 olds diesel... man they're low to the ground... I may change my mind, but I'm not really worried about getting every ounce of horsepower out of my truck, its a daily driver, so they'll more than suffice, either these or Hedman shorties...
