LSX Swap Headers



I'm still gathering parts for my 5.3 swap into my formula thought I'd post up a couple of pics of my homemade swap headers. Some old hedmans I had from the TPI days. Gonna clean up the welds and shoot some hi temp paint on them. What do yall think.

Been saying it for years, modding headers is hot-rodding 101. Good job for making them work and saving money.

Are you going to sandblast them? Even painted they'll rot from the inside out eventually so I recommend blasting before paint.

Unless you're building a show car, VHT's spray-able ceramic coatings work very well. Follow the curing procedure of course. I have no doubt yours will turn out awesome, and will save you hundreds of dollars.
