Hooker 351w pinto swap headers? They sure look familiar to me.

I have the 351w pinto swaps on my II, man.. what a pain in the ass those were. what are the primary/collector sizes on those?

But damn, ceramic coating on them looks good! I'd probably do it to mine, except I live in AZ, so I don't really have to worry about them rusting.

i think they are 1 5/8 and three inch collectors....but i'm not 100% possitive. I did it mainly because of the heat...and also to make it look nice uderhood.

yep, those are the same as what mine are. and let me tell you, they get HOT. my engine bay is so hot after the car is just running for a little bit, because of how high those headers sit.

the ceramic coating is a good idea. i'd do it with mine if i didn't want to never take them out ever again. (and if i had the money)

That march pulley system looks quite familiar. That looks great!

It's funny how similar our engines look, besides some of the obvious differences.
