91 350 tpi headers
Hi just wondering what headers to get for a 91 350 TPI. Does anyone have any preferences? And do the generic sbc headers usually fit? Or are there special ones for tpi? If so does anyone have any part numbers??

You'll get many suggestions on this, it really comes down to what you want out of the car when done and of course your budget.
If your under 500 hp, do a search for Dyno Don.

The go-to used to be SLP. Nowadays it's probably gotta be Dyno Don. Especially if you're one of those oddballs like me, to whom long-term maintenance-free operation and sealing are more important than chasing the last possible HP on paper whether it ends up in reality or not, along with ground clearance, compatibility with other parts, fitment, interference with things like the starter, and so forth. There's ALOT to be said for engineering aspects other than the theoretical "most power". "Most power" doesn't count for much if you can't drive your car or it's so obnoxious that members of the opposite sex, or maybe even yourself, can't stand to ride in it because you get back out of it smelling like exhaust or you're deaf or parts fall off regularly.

No, and no.

Which is a real bummer. I wonder if they could be snuck through using another companies EO number and sticker?
