FS: sbc headers $60 obo(new)

[hgffrank]

I have a NEW set of flowtech shorty style headers that I originally bought for my 90 bird but never installed, now I am going with an LT1 and cant use them, so I need to sell them.

They are 1 1/2 primary, 2 1/2 collector
I stripped the factory black paint off and re-painted them with that VHT flame series orange paint which I think was rated to 2100 degrees or something like that. I also baked them in over cycled up to 550 degrees. they have sat around for over a year so I hope someone can use em'

They obviously arent the greatest thing in the world but certainly better than stock manifolds and at $60, your paying 1/2 price or less. They are between $120 and 140 new. Plus I used two entire cans of paint on them, that good for another 10 bucks cost.

I've attached a few pics, if your curious about why the color is a bit different in the last pic, its because I took a pic of the headers with one heat cycle baked and the other hadnt been baked yet. The darker one was after baked.

That orange looks pretty good on them. Good luck with the sale. I'm need to sell the Hedman headers I have.

Yes I believe they will work on TPI 305, and also on 350's too. I dont see why the TPI would be much different than TBI or carb as far as headers go. I believe these will fit any V8 third gen Bird. And I was told by someone that they used their stock y-pipe, but according to flowtech and parts store their is a flowtech y-pipe for like 100 bucks thats supposed to be used. I didnt buy it cause I was going to custom fab my own exhaust from headers back to intermediate pipe.

And the paint I used on them, was the highest heat paint I could find and had to order it cause nobody carried it around here. It was supposed to be orange, I think I still have another can of it somewhere, but its the ceramic kind. I didnt think the paint would turn out as well as it did, I just took my time and sprayed thin coats with about 30 minutes between each coat, and probably 5 coats which was the entire can on each header. I wish the color would have stayed orange, but after heat cycling them in the over according to the directions the paint seems to turn more of a red color.

Here is a pic that I took today. I think the one header could have used a bit more time in the over cause its not quite as dark as the other, but they still look great. And if I find that extra can of paint, I'll send it along.

I did find the extra can of paint and now that I remember, this was a can I found at autozone and was the same brand and all as what I used but was 200 degree's less than the stuff I used and I'm not sure why VHT did that but it was the exact same brand and model, just a less heat rating, so I included a pic of it so you know what I used, just the stuff I used was 200 degrees hotter paint.

And since I forgot to say, they also come with the collectors, mounting hardware, and gaskets.
