Headers for GMPP Fast Burn Heads
I really did exhaust(no pun intended
) the advanced search option, looking for info on this subject, but no luck. Have installed the GMPP ZZ383 and ready to pull the trigger on headers and exhaust system. I was all set to order a set of Doug's Headers, part D-334. Just to be safe after reading the catalog info on fitment, I called Doug's, and got the tech, Paul. The description in catalog seemed to be a good match with the heads. Stated fits D-ports, angled plugs, etc., so I figured its a go.
Tech Paul tells me that the GMPP "Fast Burn" aluminum heads may not seal with the headers properly, due to a "change" of some type on the placement of the mounting holes and ports? He really did not sound 100% sure, almost like he was covering himself, just in case. I don't want to go through the hassle of ordering them, only to find that they do not fit/seal properly. I can probably order a set of header gaskets to fit these heads to make sure of seal before I order the headers, but thought I would check with you guys first. If you have any experience with these heads and header fitment could you chime in. Any legit info on this subject is definitely appreciated

i have had a fair bit to do with fastburn heads ,i have them on 2 motors but i dont have any dougs headers. i had no problems installing hookers on them with standard dport gaskets . only thing i can think of is the less than 1/2 inch raise in the ports from other heads but i think its so insignificant it shouldnt make much difference. its a nice big machined surface for the gasket so as long as you use the metallic style i cant forsee any dramas

Fast Burn Heads
Has anyone actually installed a set, other than Hooker Comps that Gingerbread spoke of? Would like another option I know will work, been told the Hookers sit really low, and I have clearence issues to deal with getting off my dirt road. Any info appreciated!

Try this place. It's called Street & Performance. Talk to Mark. I have a set of his D port headers. They are very nice. http://www.hotrodlane.cc
