I JUST ordered, so I'll let you know how they show up.

Seriously.............could you ask for a better price?

 

hopefully they fit

 

Why wouldn't they fit? I've read all there is to read, and have installed them on cars in the past. But I see what you're saying, and thus I'll keep you guys updated. Still smookin deal I say....

 

do those hedmens not come with the ball/socket flanges anymore? if not thats a bummer. good deal on them though, they are $159.99+shipping at jegs

 

They sure as hell better! What makes you think they won't?

 

the pic shows they have 3 bolt flanges, and not ball/socket sooo thats what im making my assumption on

 

Here's how they look at Amazon.

looks great, what y pipe are you using for this set up?

 

Those are not for a SBC, much less a 3rd gen.

 

obviously. My point is that I believe they come as a 3 bolt ball and socket design with reducers, and not a 3 bolt flange/gasket. What size I'm not sure. I'll probably pick up these too:

I found a company that'll coat these headers for $160 a pair including return shipping. Yes I know, you get what you pay for, but the job quality also largely depends on how well you prepped the headers. smooth rough edges, test fit on the car so you won't have to dent the coating later..............over all I'm confidant that it'll go well. I'll have plenty of pics in a few weeks.

A simple search to Hedman headers shows these will come with Ball and Socket flanges, and are designed for a straight back exit.

Got the headers today, and all seems well. There's plenty of prep I'll be doing to these before I send them out to get coated.

Question - should I grind down the surface that contacts the head/header gasket so that it's flush? Right now it's not flush because the welds weren't ground down all the way. One of the pics shows it well.

 

You want the bead to be higher than the flange so you get a good seal from squeezing the gasket between the header and head around the port.

 

Makes sense, thanks.
