Looking for some assistance with installing a set of headers into a 70 442... 455 w/ SC Hookers... The engine is in place but not hooked up... Can you install these from under the car or do I need to pull the engine and lay the headers in place etc...

Thanks in advance!!!

Need to remove the starter, and the oild filter housing. You may also have to lift the engine a little.Also will have to move the brake perportion valve.

 

Would it be better to install while the engine is being rebuilt?

 

Thanks for the advice guys...
They went in pretty smooth...

Should fire today!

 

So how did you install them?

 

I went from under the car once it was jacked up... They dropped into place...

Thanks again for the help fellas!

 

There are headers in there? Drool!!! ;-)

 

Nice engine ! I take it the 60193 in you user name is your zip., hope to see that car around at local shows if thats the case.

 

Yeah I will get it out more this summer. Is there a site with local show listings etc...???

 

I usually use the leadfoot magazine used to be gearhead and they list all the local shows. I know roselle's cruise nights start soon.

 

If you're lookin' for a drive...haha...Hooters in Rockford has on every sunday night april til October. I take my Lightning there...and Cutlass come next year 'er so.

 

my car is not a long drive car. racing buckets very loud exhaust dont make for a nice long drive lol im moving to elgin in a few weeks . i will be closer to byron dragway and i'll be stuck driving it to the track. since i sold my trailer. If you ever come down this way let me know .

 

Very nice engine! What fuel pump are you using? And what kind of cam do you have? I ask because I ran out of gas using a mechanical pump but I couldn't fit anything bigger than a stock pump w/ the Edelbrock heads.
