I was searching for headers for the 252 eng and found this sight. Tell me what you think, since I haven't found any for this eng. The price seem reasonable until you add everything else. :x-mas:

Hi Tyrone...
You might try and talk to John at Auto Fab. They offered a set of headers for the Buick even-fire engine. A set of headers cost 450.00 two years ago. He may cut you a good deal on a set of flanges. The website will show nothing you need but years ago, they were heavy hitters when it came to custom Luv stuff. Here's an e-mail link to them:

john@autofab.com

Have you started the motor yet? If you're around, i'll be back in Cove for Christmas. I'd like to see the progress you've made. Later... John

nope, haven't heard of that one...want a header for your little rattler?

i bet you could make your own flange without too much trouble...could just use cardboard for a stencil and make it out of 3/8 or 1/2" steel plate(so it won't warp). making the tubes and welding them together is the hard part...building good headers and intake manifolds is truely an art

have you checked TA performance? i'd be really suprised if they didn't carry headers for the 231/252, especially since they make their own all-aluminum v6 blocks!
