gotta love the camaro

 

look at the cam thread for that, as far as headers...3.4 will work with a torch, bench vice, and trial & error. I thinks that edelcrotch tes will work with the same pursausion (sp?) for heads, get some from 3.4l engines, I believe rwd only will fit, please correct if i am wrong

Couple of suggestions.
Simplest is go get the GM PERFORMANCE PARTS CATALOG ($6), any GM dealer.
Look at the proper pages. Related that to what ya find in the yards and such. The 2.8/3.1/3.4 heads are the same but the new (OTC) 3.4 heads come with the spring retainers and valves all done for a fair price.
I'll give ya the link to my 3.4 swap. This swap quite impressed a driver/owner of a 1991 Mustang LX 5.0 this weekend (we weren't racing, but I gave him a ride!)

Just do a search in our message area; you're bound to find what you need. Catalogs and Websites usually won't advertise parts for our cars- such as exhausts. For instance, we know that a catback for some V8's will work on our V6's. Sometimes you just have to call a place (such as Summit Racing)- they carry so many parts they can't put it all in one catalog.

Fiream, aren't those the 2.8 S10 Blazer headers? I'm pretty sure that the primaries for the 2.8 F-body headers are much shorter...?

Are you -sure-? They look like the Blazer headers. Brian K has a set on his car, right? Where's K?

Fiream,

Will the 2.8 headers fit on to the 3.1?? They might not. When I looked at my stock 3.1 headers they are much shorter.

 

I don't know they might fit, if you can find a set of these.

Tom,
I got intouch with Heddman and i'm expecting a responce from them soon about the headers. from what i've heard they are a race or super comp type header.

already called. Discontinued never to be made again.

 

the current headers for the 3.4 will also fit the the 2.8/3.1 engines, I believe these are basicly the same heads.

this thread has the process that 3.1firebird used to make 3.4 headers fit the 3rd gen cars.

good reading

As far as Hedmans go I got a hold of a manager a while back and he stated that if I (we) could come up with 100 requests for headers then they would seriously consider making a run.

I wrote up an article about it but never posted it because there was a lack of interest at the time. The information is at http://www.myfirebird.com/hedman.html if anyone wants to take a look.

I have no idea if the offer still stands ( I doubt it) but if anyone wants me to continue trying or if someone else wants to pick up the ball let me know.

EDIT: The old topic is at https://www.thirdgen.org/messgboard/...ML/000843.html all the info is good except for the part about faxing - DO NOT FAX!
