Is Jegs the cheapest on the 2140 supercomp headers for the v8 swap? Looks like 419 in jegs and 650 in summit. Anyone know where to get um cheaper?

Regular block huggers are real cheap and fit fine. Won't flow as well though.

Block huggers have a odd exhaust dump on one side if I remember correctly and a very close/tight fit. Someone on here just finished up installing a set.

get the hooker header and then get a set of heddman "S" sections, then you can flip'em over and run your exhaust between your body and frame

What's this? Hooker headers for what application? Do you cut the collector off and install the S? Got pics of one that's been done this way?

Now that is a clean install and the radiator can be mounted in the bed where you can use a BIG one for better cooling,It's been done more than once so it will work and the weight is where it belongs.
