will these headers fit?

Talk about modifications, or anything else associated with performance enhancements. Have a new idea for performance/reliability? Post it here. No idea is stupid! (please use Detailing and Appearance for cosmetic ideas)

If you can't find speed daddy or better, then make sure you have access to a competent welder that you can rely on to make them work. They appear to be hit or miss (can't vouch for the seller) based on the design. My brother can attest to that.

I don't think the plog and crossover nets you much in terms of performance per dollar. I'd hold out for a set of speed daddy headers or find a used set of ZZP or SLP headers or something.

Not that there is anything wrong with the headers you linked to - but the ones that were (same design) shipped to my brother needed to be chopped and welded to even fit the dang engine.

You want headers? follow that link ^^^
get 'em while they're hot. When I was looking for them they were sold out and people who did have them were selling them for over $400 a set.

Do not get anything from SSAC or XS performance ever. You will regret it soo soo much.


edit: don't forget to get a w-body trans dipstick and to get good gaskets. Basically any hardware that comes with these cheap kits is trash and shouldn't be anywhere near a car.

i had a set of these. it took a lot of bending and welding to get them to fit right. i was able to do it with the engine out of the car, but i wouldve never been able to do it without removing the engine.

speedaddys are better and cheap
