    300 headers

    i bought them from Pinehead64us i decided to not mess with those stainless ones i don,t have the time to fuss with them i need to get the car on the road it has been three years this august and these headers were holding me up i think i figured out a way to make them fit. The passenger side poston header went in form the buttom fairly easy but i haven't tried the driver side i hope i won't have to lift the engine because i have he brake porpotioning block out and the hole steering columb to. truthfully the land rover heades fit much better on the passenger side than these do its ashame i don't have te time to get them to fit. Any ways i am going to try to sell them on ebay the guy that ripped me off said they are in high demand Yea Right. Hw did you lift that side of the motor did you take only they one side of the motor mount or did you take out both. You guys info is much apprecciated This is my first buick project an its great to have experts to ask questions

    thanks Adam

    :( BOTH mounts and had to use the cherry picker to raise it,
    that was way back when i first got the car and the original
    engine was still in it. when installing the engine i set the drivers
    side header in the frame and then lower the engine down in.
    you can also use a floor jack and a block of wood under
    the balancer ans gently raise the engine. good luck and
    happy motoring:bglasses:
