Frequently Asked Questions
Will these headers fit my A-body engine bay without modifications?
Shorty headers minimize interference, but big-block swaps often require mock-fitting before final installation. Test-fit the headers with your specific engine and frame setup to confirm clearance at the firewall, K-member, and exhaust routing points.
Do these headers require ceramic coating or paint before install?
Stainless steel won't rust without coating, so paint is optional for function but common for appearance. If you want to paint them, light surface prep and high-temp engine enamel work well—just test a small area first.
What do I need to bolt these on—are gaskets and hardware included?
The header assembly ships as-is. You'll need to source gaskets, header bolts, and any mounting hardware separately based on your specific engine block and manifold configuration.
