Headers, stainless steel/ceramic coated, problems with installation?
Hi.
I have an 85, 4+3, Z-51.
I have thought of putting headers on it . I have the stock cast iron heads all though pocket ported.
I live in Norway so I would appreciate some comments and advice before ordering because it would be a long way to go if there are some problems that I could have avoided.
1. Does TPIS deliver stainless steel (I would prefer that because of the vulnerable ceramic coating??)? I have seen that it is necessary to do mods to the dipstick. Is that with the manual stickshift also? Are there other mods to do or any other problems.
2. Lingenfelter have a stainless steel headers. Does anyone know how to install them?Problems? Do I have to take the starter out before installing. How about the dipstick??
Best regards
Jan-Erik
