Well lets see, first Total Performance will probable not sell these headers to you. Why do I say this, because I tried to buy some from them and they called me back and said buy them from Tubular Automotive. Tubular makes the headers and normally there is a 6 to 8-week lead-time. I don’t have all the info right now but when I go home for lunch I can get you both phone numbers. Good luck in your new project, but be patient and don’t rush it.
: Sunday I started to put my big cam in, then low and behold...
: 2 cam bearings came out with my old cam. The 302 is now history as I have
: a reason to get off my ass and yank it out now. I am working a deal out
: for a 4 bbl. Cleveland and should have it by this weekend. I should (with
: any luck, and I'm short on it...) have my shock towers notched this coming
: Saturday. I'm having as much meat as possible cut out. Let's see, I think
: I'll have to ditch the power steering (a good thing) and use a floor shift,
: that about sum it up? I also gutted the bumber and mount already (I think
: that knocked 80 pounds off the front), and will have the battery in the
: trunk tomorrow night if I get the parts in time. Will I have to use
: custom headers with the towers notched, or will the stock manifolds work
: for now? I'm hoping they will for a few months, but if not I'll order a
: set of headers from Total Performace, and who else has them? I need to
: get Total Performance's email addy and or phone number also if anybody
: has it. I'm drooling already. I bet my stock 2.75 8 inch will die a ungodly
: dealth soon, so I'll have to find the proper 9 inch I guess...
