Clint…I thought about Stainless works, but wanted the coating to

does put out heat via the headers. I guess the Stainless headers could be
coated as well…but it just doesn’t seem right to coat a nice

Hooker does build excellent stuff but their A-body
headers don't like lowered cars. The Stainless Works tubes tuck in pretty tight.

I'm very happy
with the headers I bought direct from Jet Hot. They sold me Hooker Super Comps
for a great price and hat them coated and the difference is significant than
buying them already coated. They do excellent work on their
coating!!

Hi
again,
I
really wanted something bigger but Scott there answered that they wouldnt offer
anything else than 1 5/8"
I
totally agree that 1 5/8" are right for a 350, but my later plans include a
much bigger sbc (434 or 454cid) so if they offered 1 7/8" I'd go for that rig
Title: Message
Stainless Works will build their headers with 1
5/8", 1 3/4", or 1 7/8" primaries. 1 5/8" tubes would be my preference for my
350.
Talk to Al Noe,the owner.

Hooker also builds some of their headers now in
stainless. If I ever switch to stainless headers,Stainless Works will be the
ones I use.

I think you’ll find three basic
choices – 160, 180, and 195. Personally, I’ve always used
180s, and like the previous poster, have done so for 15 years. I think
160 is a little cool for full temp, but that’s me. You’d do
fine with either.
195 is a common OEM thermostat temp, I
believ
Unspring weight is weight that is not
supported by the springs on the car. The most obvious example would be
the wheels & tires. The complete rear axle would be another component
that is ‘unsprung weight’. I’m going to guess that the
front a-arms and spindle assembly also fall into this
For you guys needing the above,Alex LaRue is the

Pete, Your engine most likely came with a 180 thermostat. 160 would be fine
