The reason why you don't put on headers on a C-body.

[commando1]

YOU replace the starter or drop the drive shaft numb nuts. I'm not touching it.

And oh, that is not how you run new transmission cooler lines.

That has to be fixed. I hope he kept the exhaust manifolds. Nice car. Either the pictures are showing the paint incorrectly or the gold paint isn't correct.

we have hookers on ours and its a problem.... after it gets hot it does not want to start very easy
we still have the stock ones they might make a come back.. we were thinking about wrapping them not sure yet

Thats a lot of tubes ,for what benefit,

what do you mean thats not the way to run tranny cooler lines? The heat from the headers will warm the tranny up quicker in the wintertime.....and excess heat is good for the tranny.........isn't it?

lol

That's a good way to cook the starter.

 

[1978 NYB]

All that for a minimal HP gain and a waste of $$$

 

[440Sled]

Damn that looks sketchy.

Yeah but..........ahhh never mind

This is my thinking unless you really hot the motor up .. I normally run the HP manifolds. Have for years on my RRs, the ole Fury, the RT etc. Not saying you can't more power and flow out of headers but if you are running a fairly stock set up with HP manifolds I really don't think it's worth the effort, maintenance hassels, and $$$.

Now if you invest have some nice free breathing heads, hotter than HP type cam, carb(s), ignition, etc then you need to remove the restrictions to capitalize on the investment. But stock 383 and 440 HPs, I don't feel the need.

 

[1978 NYB]

I agree, if you're putting something together for the racetrack than headers make sense......but 2.5 tons on the street.......what's the point except maintenance headaches...loose header bolts, burning up header and collector gaskets, bottoming out and flattening the headers, etc.

Jackwagon!

 

[Wildaugust]

I wouldn't want to deal with that either. :laughing4: There was a time when I would have installed headers on mine. I was planning to install headers in my truck too. I couldn't afford them at the time, but was going to save up for them. I was under the impression, mainly from reading car magazines, that you pretty well had to have them if you wanted any kind of performance at all.
As time went by, I started to think maybe they weren't such a good idea. After all, they are rather expensive and they don't last very long. They also take up lot of room and make it harder to get at things. Nowadays I'd just as soon stay with the factory exhaust manifolds, but definitely run dual pipes.

 

[tallhair]

Agree on the duals. Duals and HP manifolds are a major improvement on sound and perf over restrictive log manifolds and single pipe exhaust. HP manifolds also look better under the hood IMHO .. but they are not for every application.

 

[1978 NYB]

I upgraded my NYB with duals and Flowmasters. I enjoy the performance and mpg increase. I was getting 8.5 mpg when I first got the car. Single exhaust with a bad cat, TQ that wasn't anywhere close to working right. Upgraded to an Eddie intake & carb. The exhaust pipe looked like a Yukon stove pipe. I just calculated 14.5 mpg through the mountains and 15 mpg overall on a 2,500 road trip. I'm happy!!!

 

[tallhair]

Nice one Bob

 

[detmatt]

That was definitely money well spent Bob.

 

[1978 NYB]

The NYB just strutted through the mountains with no effort and the temperature gauge didn't move at all! I did replace all the hoses, thermostat and outlet, water pump, and radiator cap. Still had the original radiator, fan and fan clutch in her.

I forgot about some of that, thanks Bob
