well, as most of you know some of us are meetin up at firebird friday, so i decided to finally get off my *** and get headers..
Well, they should be here by wednesday, so i am install them hopefully thursday, maybe friday, depends on shipping, up at gearhead garage. Was ganna see if anyone wants to come give me a hand on the install, as i have no idea what im in for. So the more the merrier. Im ganna rent a lift at Gearhead Garage so it should make things abit easier. guess we will find out? so yea, if anyone wants to give me a hand, let me know! thanks

if it was a weekend i would try to come help, but i have to work mon-fri noon-9pm.

 

How difficult it will be will depend on what brand headers you bought. As for helping, I am too far away for that.

 

well, originally i was buying a used pair of Edelbrock TES headers, but after seeing them and talking to the guy im abit hesitant, and i might go ahead and order Flowtech headers off summit.. how much of a differnce will the 1 1/2 primaries compared to the 1 5/7 primary headers?

 

no difference at all with a 305

when you put the driver's side on you'll have to unbolt the driver's side engine mount and jack up the engine slightly to get the header to go on.

the lift won't help much until you get ready to connect it to the rest of your exhaust system as most of the work will be done from up top anyway

get coated headers or some header wrap to help curb underhood temperatures. LO3's don't like hot air.

 

you up for helping me out man? id really appreciate it the extra hand.. would even considering dropping some money in your pocket for it

 

what does your shedule look like for this project?

 

Well, the guy flaked on me so i just said **** it and ordered from Summit. I will get them wednesday morning supposedly, however i have class wednesday night.. so depeneding on what time in the morning i get them we can do them wednesday, if not then thursday for sure.. however i can use the lifts at gearhead garage either day at any time... but if we dont need the lifts for the installtion then it would save me money if we didnt use them ... give me a call at 480.232.0395 james and let me know if you can help me out.. or anyone else.. thanks

if you have a decent jack and some tall jackstands then you won't need the lift for the install...

if we need it for like an hour to weld up the exhaust how are they charging you to use the lift?

 

I tried calling but I didn't get an answer.

Wednesday is all booked up for me except late that evening.
Thursday morning might give me some time if I finish Wednesday's project.
Friday afternoon is all open. Until I go to the races that is.

The bottom line is if you want to pull a late night on Wednesday we can do it. Let me know.

 

James and i talked and we are ganna meet up at his house wednesday around 1pm and git r done. so for anyone who wants to give us a hand, it would be greatly appreciated. give me a call or post up on here if you need directions, thanks guys! Headers nad tune will be ready for track friday woo hoo!

 

Too bad you didn't get back to me about my 1 5/8 TES headers. You could have seen them on my motor and probably saved yourself money in the long run...

Good luck with the flowtechs.
