Yeah or in my case I will line the walls with 4 mil plastic in my garage.

that will work great, no wind to worry about, or dust

Yeah but there has to be ventilation and fresh air coming in. I might get a metal carport,enclose it and build a fan and filter system into it.

Well, finally got a pair of headers, BBK shorty's
Just need to get gaskets and header bolts, and maybe a reducer?
Not sure if I need the reducer for shorty headers, they are suppose to be a direct replacement fit, but the collector flange is 2 1/4" and the spacing for the bolts is 4" on center. Have to check the factory. Also need to get one longer double threaded bolt for the dip stick bracket.

they came off a 1988 ford truck with a 351 Windsor, but not sure if there is a difference between my '83

nope no difference... how much they set you back?

you shouldnt need a reducer..

Hi Chris, paid the guy $80 dollars. The mounting flange to hook up to the exhaust pipe seems to look wider than the stock flange? And the dome seems bigger too. Really hope that the factory flare in the exhaust pipe will work and the flanges will be the same. Need to go under the truck to check. Wish I kept my old cracked factory manifold so I could compare.

[Beach66Bum]

Hi Chris, was outside checking and you are right, it's all the same. Just need the hardware. Hope to get them on this weekend! The ad the guy had said $80 dollars obo.

Hi Cliff, thanks! They didn't fit on his Ford van, he went with long tubes. Just wanted them gone. They don't look like they were used very long. Stainless steel, just some surface rust from sitting around. Can't wait to install them. Need to find out how to do a video!

 

[Beach66Bum]

Installed the shorty headers today

have sound clip, just need to figure out how to get it on here.

 

[Ridgerunner]

Looks good Roy. They fit nicely.

Thanks Cliff! the headers went on without any problem, one hour tops. The factory manifold bolts all came out really easy! Just ran the truck for a few minutes to heat up the bolts. I need to bring the truck to the muffler shop to hook up the exhaust pipes since the flanges are not the same Oh well, not a big deal, looks like I will drive there with open headers!!!!! yes it's loud

 

[Ridgerunner]

I have neighbors 20 feet on each side of my front door and they make a lot of noise. I can't wait to put headers on mine.

Drive around for a week like that, and you'll be disappointed when you hook it all up! My buddy ran open headers on his Chevelle all day long, and after a few days around it, I got used to the noise.

Yes, it does sound really cool, but I would be shot if one of the horse ladies got bucked off her horse as I left the farm under WOT!!!!!
