I bought some slightly used Edelbrock shorty headers from my friend who wrecked his car. Anyway, I got the headers, the Y-pipe, some old crusty gaskets and some used bolts.

Anyway, what should I buy to install these headers (and from where if you know) to get these onto my car. I've heard regular manifold gaskets aren't as prone to leaking as header gaskets, but I assume they stick out like a sore thumb, although looks don't matter to me.

And as you probably know, I don't want these things to ever leak, what precautions can I take.


Also does anyone know where I can find instructions on putting these on and how long, approximatly, it takes?


Thanks,
Joe

 

I'd get yourself a good set of gaskets, maybe some felpro 1406's and a descent set of header bolts, maybe 1 inch long, 3/4 would work too. and I'm not familar with the edelbrok y-pipe, But, I'd also get some felpro gaskets for that too. Everyone says to go with stage 8 lockers for your header bolts but I've been fine without them, I had to tighten them for the first 3 weeks but now I can check them about once a month and they dont move anymore
