    Does anyone know where i can get a set of headers for a skyhawk with a 350. The set i have on the car is 12 years old and in need of repair or replace.

    I personally am un-aware of any manufacturer who offers headers for your application... I'm also stumped as to where your tri-Y headers came from.... Quite likely they were "custom made" by a previous owner, or perhapse they are Doug Thourley brand headers, Doug has been known to do some pretty wierd one off stuff for his customers... But I'll grant him, he sure makes good quality stuff.

    The headers currently offered for the buick 350 are designed for the A-body, and would most likely not fit into your 'lil car.... Not even close. [honestly tho, that's just a guess... Let's see what others say]

    If noone are out there for you, I think your best bet is going to be buying a set of small block chevy headers that are designed to fit your chassis [chevy monza, same chassis as yours, did have a SBC] and then getting a set of buick 350 header flanges from T/A Performance, and making your own set.

    The flange kit from T/A runs about $80, and depending on the "quality" of monza SBC headers you buy,,, you could put yourself a set together for as little as $250, including the cost of having someone "weld 'em together" for 'ya....

    Of course better quality headers will increase that cost, but you get the idea....

    Good luck with it!!!!!

    The headers came from speedway automotive in phoenix az. I did the swap and had ordered kenne-bell headers that they had a part number for in there catolog. Six months later they call and say there was not enough orders to make the run of headers. (thanks jim) Phil at speedway had a few sets made and i got one. The headers were real nice when i got them but did not fit. They were made for a 4 speed car and i had a th-350. So they sent me to a local muffler shop to have them modified and they buchered them.
