N8's eBay Speed Daddy Lt1 headers install

[nascarnate326]

Made decent progress today. Got the headers on, plugs in, wires on, steering shaft painted and back on. We also got the new flywheel on.

Here are some pics from today. So far, I think the headers are pretty nice. Joel and my friend ben had to dent one while i ground some off the steering shaft. Had to grind the k Member too. They are no kooks but it really wasnt that bad, its not finished yet though.

Thanks man. These headers better be worth it.

Hoping to get the trans back in today. I cant imagine doing a project like this by my self.

Nice progress!

The one you brought me is too dry

The one that I took off the car, was bent. We bent it back and i think we could weld it and use it but I dont want to take this trans out again.

Ill just get the new kit, install it and know that I have new flywheel, PP, clutch, and TB.

what are you doing about the broken exhaust bolt/stripped threads

what are you doing about the broken exhaust bolt/stripped threads

turns out the gasket had folded up on us and we were trying to screw into half head and half gasket. my dad went out there and figured it out. bought a new gasket and it went on with no problems. Rookie mistake :/

Everything *should* be smooth now.

I just hope the EGR block off doesnt mess something up.

how did you tune your car?
