350 headers

I got a 305 tbi, i got some headers off craigslist off a neighbor for 40$. They have some wear and tear but in decent shape, There is no port for 02 sensor, but anyways would these work on my 305, will i need a different Y pipe ? and what kind are they ? they have no serials i looked all over,






thanks in advance

Re: 350 headers

those tubes look huge. where they off a thirdgen? or just a random set made for 350s? mostlikly they might flow too good for your motor. do you know how big the primarys are???

Re: 350 headers

Are those headers made specifically for a thirdgen? If not, they probably wont fit. Also, they dont have AIR tubes, so you wont pass CA's smog test with them. You will need to have an O2 sensor bung welded in on the driver's side header. Last, your y-pipe wont fit, you will need to have one custom made.

Sorry, but that wasnt a good purchase.

Re: 350 headers

Sorry, there's no such thing as cheap and good.

Hooker 2055's are 1 5/8" tubes with the y-pipe, and Dyno Don's are 1 3/4" headers with a y-pipe. Those are the best shorty headers available for thirdgens.
