Default Information needed! Help!

I live in orlando FL and was wondering where there would be a reputable mechanic that would be able to work on a C3, in case i screw anything up.

Also, I was wondering if anyone had any tips about installing headers onto a stock 350 small block. Any advice would be welcome as i am a novice mechanic. The bolts on my exhaust manifold look fairly rusted over and im worried about bolt breakage when i unscrew them, to attach the headers. is there anything that can be done to prevent this ? also any secrets to freeing up space around the engine to make this job easier?

This is my cardomain site also, feel free to visit

hit the bolts with a product called PB Blaster available at Autozone. Shoot them multiple times over several days.

Use good quality 6 pt sockets

Hmm... Orlando... Don't know anyone there but you're a PM away from LOTAHP & GrandsportC3... Norm's about 2 hours SE of you & Oliver is 1.5 hours west of you.
