Headers

[CHEV 383]

Well, the motor is pulled out of the '68 for a pesky oil pan gasket leak. While I was tearing it apart, I realized that the headers just sucked. They were rusty as all hell.

What are you guys using on your cars for headers?? I am running a stroked small block 350 and a 4 pseed manual trans. Flowtech and Hooker comps are cheaper, but will I see much of a difference by going to super comps?? Hedman's look good as well. Anyone with a preference on these cars??

i like my $100(with tax) Summit shorties on my "rice", makes the car sound good and run alot better. Summit rox for parts just so ya kno.

[JoeliusZ28]

im not sure what the difference is between comp and super comp. But IMO as long as they are full length with 3" collectors and at least 1 5/8" primaries, youre ok. I would recommend 1 3/4 or 1 7/8 primaries for a stroker though.

hedman headers have small flanges and are harder to seal than say a pair of hooker headers. Make sure you get a pair that is ceramic coated or stainless if you can afford it. I went the cheap way when I bought mine and am now regreting it.

yep buy a set of coated hookers and you'll be set, i love the hooker long tubes i have now 1 3/4 longtubes mmmmmmm

x2...and definately get them coated...don't go with the heat resistant tape wrap...

[jakes_GSXR]

that heat wrap stuff looks like you need miles of it to even do a "decent" job. plus that stuff is kinda expensive. is it even worth wrapping your headers if they're not coated, or just putting that money towards a new set?

[MattODoom]

Supercomps are tuned I believe (equal length?)

that just triggered my memory i believe you are correct. they also dont have any sharp angles.

Some of us may not agree with that statement.
Hooker #2131-1 Super Comp coated header.
I just checked prices....
Jegs = 629.99
Summit = 639.99
The both have "handling fees" with there "free" shipping.
I will sell that header for 589.99 ,I will have to find out how much shipping will be.

Chev 383, figure out what you want and I'll shoot you a very good price. I'll do it for my "crazy weekend sale".

csmith4153 vbmenu_register("postmenu_162219", true); , Well, I will create a little list for you. I am really shopping for an oil pan gasket, to replace the leaking one that I have. I am also in the market (shopping, and weighing prices) for a front disk brake kit for the car. I will post a grocery list for you and if you want to throw out some prices, we shall see what we can do.

I think you will like the discount.

hey CS3, I see you carry comp cams for LT1s. could you get a 224/230 on a 110 LSA? Im not looking to buy right now but I havent found anyone other than comp directly that carries them.

Do you happen to know the part # for it?

[JoeliusZ28]

Do you happen to know the part # for it?

no i dont, like i said ive never found it anywhere. its a cc503 but that probably doesnt help. its avalilible in 114, 112, and 110 durations. (112 is everywhere, and you can find 114s here and there)
