[Chevelle-list] Header removal
I have a 69 4spd big block and I am having a rough time getting the driver's side header off. The passenger side came out from the bottom, but the driver's side hits the clutch, steering, etc. so, unbolted motor and moved steering column out of way and it still will not come out the top. Any secrets I am missing?
Fw: [Chevelle-list] Header removal
Tried removing the old filter and still no luck. It appears that it may come out from the bottom the best. The clutch linkage is the only thing I can see holding it back. I am def. not a pro with anything to do with clutches so is there anything I should look out for taking the linkage apart. You are right, I do NOT want to have to take the head off. They are some kind of aftermarket cheap crap header, two of the four pipes were smashed about half closed so I have some Hooker's in the box waiting to go on it. - Original Message - From: LandMMilano To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 3:32 PM Subject: [Chevelle-list] Header removal I have a 69 4spd big block and I am having a rough time getting the driver's side header off.

Believe me I have thought that many times, but I don't have a cutting torch available. I guess I could rent one. - Original Message - From: Mark Weber To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 4:34 PM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] Header removal Maybe you should cut them up to get them off, if they are old crap? Perhaps your new headers are a different shape and might slide in? Just an idea. Don't kill yourself trying to get aftermarket cheap crap headers off!

Re: [Chevelle-list] Flowmaster's 30 series or 40 delta flow series
yea, there is 4 inches diff. in the two sizes, the motor is a stock 396 with hooker headers, the exhaust on it now is "original" and has a few holes in the pipes behind the mufflers. also the exhaust will run out the back to the bumper a full system.., no turn downs. I will prob. stay with the 30's, buy the wayI am looking at a 2.5in system. - Original Message - From: John Nasta To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 12:21 PM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] Flowmaster's 30 series or 40 delta flow series The biggest difference between the 30 and 40 series is the physical dimensions of the muffler itself. 50 series are the same physical size as the 30 series, but are quieter. I have 50s on a SBC and they sound great IMO. I am glad I didnt get the louder ones.

Does anyone have BB with 40'son it. How does it sound, flowmaster only gives SB examples on their web site. thanks.

You think the X pipe is much better than the H pipe? or about the same? - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 1:00 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Flowmaster's 30 series or 40 delta flow series Hi Guys, I recently bought original flows 40 series for my 383 equipped 65 elky. I have dyno max headers, 2 1/2" pipes, a Dr gas X pipe with outlets just after the rear wheels and it sounds perfect. I had a set of Summit turbos on this car with the same setup.too loud..lots of resonance, I replaced them with Dynomax super turbostoo quiet...couldn`t even hear the rump of the camswitched to the present 40`s expecting resonance, and was totally surprised that is is minimal. The X pipe has a lot to do with it, I think the X pipe is an investment well worth the money. I now have what I believe is the perfect exhaust note. You can hear all the rump of the cam, excellent sound outside the vehicle and just righjt inside. The best part is the 40`s are all over ebay for about $45 delivered. just my $.02. Bob Myers, SD

I really don't know much about it but I'm tired of taking my car out and not being able to turn it off for fear of being stuck for a while. Been there done that don't like it.

Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 3:13 PM Subject: [Chevelle-list] headers and heat shields A question to the fellow header-users out there... Is it pretty much a rule of thumb to have to use a starter heat shield if you have headers? I keep having problems starting my motor after it's been run for a while, but if I give it a few hours and fires right up. I'm pretty certain that it's the starter getting hot, but this is my first time having headers on an SBC and wondered if it was a common problem.

[Chevelle-list] recommended headers 69 396
not sure what I have on now but they are beat in on 3 or 4 of the tubes and hang so low they scrape over the smallest bump. I would like to install them myself without having to unbolt motor mounts or mash in a pipe. I think I had headman's on my old 69 with a small block and they came so close to the oil filter they melted a portion of it and I had to loosen the header to change the filter. I would like to avoid all these problems, any suggestions or headers in use that meet these requirements. pipe size does not matter, by the way 396 no a/c, ps,pb thanks

recently saw an engine with the entire vin stamped on the block. Does this sound right, I thought only a portion of the vin made it onto the block?
