    Was thinkin of puttin some headers on my green machine. Its a 1970 le sabre. A few questions..

    Are these hard parts to find? or can I find a set that will fit my engine at my local parts source.

    Also, besides looking nicer, will there be a good improvement on performance?

    Is all the labour invloved in this work worth it?

    oh man! This is nutz:laugh: :laugh:


    So anyway, Steve...

    If you 've got a 350, then I am pretty sure TA has the headers for you. I bet they can walk you thourgh any extra steps you need to take in order to bolt those headers in.

    If you can make it work...then do it! It';s worth it.

    Beware Buicks legendary breaking exhaust manifold bolts! That could be a real pain if you break one while the engine is still in the car.

    Hey Adam is you new avatar a photo shop deal or is that MAR at Wentzville? Used to go there all the time until I found out Gateway was running Street tire cars only on Tuesday nights.
