Need help with picking headers

Hey guys I want to know some good headers for my 90 bird I'm doing an engine swap from a 5.0 to a 5.7 and I need some headers that will fit the car and they need at least 3/8" flange thickness know of any good ones? I don't care about fitting stock exhaust either. Thanks guys.

Re: Need help with picking headers

I have a set of hedmann's that came from Jeg's, longtubes and no fitment issues, and they have at least the 3/8" flange that you mention. Just gotta call Jeg's and tell them your setup, if you try to find a set on the website you'll end up with some that have to be "modified" (aka smack it with a hammer).

Let's see, I'm just going to have to guess (because this was. . .9 years ago?) but I think they were AROUND $300. I think.

They're tech-guys are actually knowledgeable, which is amazing for a parts supplier in this day and age.
