gt40p headers

[donnie84]

hey does anyone know where i can get headers (shorty, LT are a hassle, lol) for gt40p heads? i went to macs site and they are like 319, anyone know a chaper site for any other types that would work? it doestn have to be ceramic coated, i dont mind chrome.

Would these work better than most others for the regular GT-40's/E7's/other aftermarket heads? Or would say.... BBK.. or MAC headers work better?

their designed to give more room around the #3 and #7 spark plugs on the P heads. with reagular headers on the P heads your going to have to make a special socket to change those plugs


ill get pics of my BBK shorties on the P heads soon so you can see what i mean

They would work the same as the rest they just give you more clearance for the revised gt40p heads. I went with bbk for the single flange design I didn't want to have to fight the tubes to align with the bolt holes.

bbk shortys will work with P heads? i like the central coast ones, i can run them on my stock heads too right? what x pipe could i get for them?

 

[urban96]

the bbk shorties will work *BUT* the #7 and #3 plugs will be hard to change

According to urban you can....

Yes

what x pipe could i get for them?

Which ever one you can afford.

 

[donnie84]

thanks urban and wytstang. as for the x pip i was just curious to see if it matters if i mix and match brands...i proly was gonna go with the bbk o/r one for shortys if i get the shorty

 

[wytstang]

Well chances are staying with the same brand will fit better and not be too difficult to install. But hell I have bbk equal lengh headers and a mac o/r h pipe it worked out for me.

 

[donnie84]

yea i see ppl running all diff combos. the central coast are HTS coated and made to fit the p heads and are about 199. the bbk o/r x pipe is a nice deal and i would of course run flowmasters. thanks!

put the headers on tonight, i was wrong about #3 plug, u can get to that just fine.. its only the #7 that you would have to amke a special socket for

headers bolted to heads

socket i made (just cut a slit in a normal plug socket)

clearence with socket on the plug

Which bbk part number did you use and is the setup working good for you now?

Thanks

Thats what was on my old car....talk about a pain in the ass when needing to change plugs....good thing i dind't have the car long enough to worry about it
