Just wanted to see any pics with the headers installed. I just bought me some hooker supercomps for my 496 .

 

I'll try to get you some in the morning.I've tried taking a few pics,but my phone camera is the only form I have that can be downloaded,and I can't seem to catch the light right in the shop.

 

Great, Thanks!

 

Good luck with those,they work well but are a real bitch to put in

 

That's what I've heard(or read) here in the forum. I think I read that it's best to put them in place then lower the engine?

 

Take a look at the cardomain site I have a lot of them in there (THE MACHINE) link

 

Hey , that is one great looking car, thanks. You have a pic where you're racing a grey vette, I'm assuming you won?

 

My headers are here! (here's a pic of my headers). Now to put em on

 

HAMMER TIME!

 

Amen.I describe these a a "beat on" application as opposed to bolt on.

 

Do you mean we can't just bolt them on in about half an hour 8 ). I hope I don't have to beat on my car to much , If we do I might just have to go back to a 305 and forget about it ...NOT!

 

Looks like ill be next in line with the beating! 454 coming very soon in an 82 Z-28 (all out drag car though....so i wont have to worry bout a custom exhaust job.....oh yea open headers!!!! ) thats the face that people will be making when they hear it coming down the street from a lil cruzin action!!!! lol.....haha i just realized something.......it's my dads/sis's car.....but it might be mine soon!!!!

 

i was wondering, how did you do with the hooker headers ? are they really as hard to install as people here said ?? do you have a few pics of the install maybe ?? thanks !

 

Actually the project has been going real slow so the header install hasn't begun yet.

 

ok, i know that feeling i'm curious how it works out for you, though. i'll be doing a 454 install very soon myself. i've been thinking, perhaps hooker used a v6 car to design these swap headers. i heard that the k-member location is slightly different. perhaps that could explain why everyone who starts out from a v8 car has these fitment problems ... ?? just a thought which crossed my mind ...
dont forget to take some pics of the install and of the nervous breakdown i know there's a bunch of people here who are interested to see how bad/easy it really is ...

 

I sure will post some pics of the header install and the engine .

 

thanks i'm very much looking forward to your pics. if it turns out do-able without whacking my car with a hammer , i'll probably buy them too. i've contacted lemonsheaders about their swap headers (someone here on TGO has those) to ask their current prices, but these guys dont even respond. i suppose that'll be their loss

 

Hello ... any progress so far ?

i hope those hookers didnt wear you out ?

 

any pics yet
