I'm on a REALLY tight buget now after dumpping all of my money on my project car and this 455. I was planning to putting my stock exhaust manifols on temporaily untill I can save for headders because theirs still alot of stuff I NEED to order for the motor and car. But I really dont want to have to do the headders with the motor in the car I'd rather drop the motor in with the headders on, make sence dosent it? Poston sells them for $ 340.00 + shipping, so about $ 400.00,, DAMMou: Does anyone know of any other dealers that sell headders cheaper? Or have a pair new or used to sell? Thanks ~ VIN
I have a used pair of poston's headers, with 3in and 2.5in collectors.. About 5yrs old but still solid, with no holes. I don't think there is any rust either, just dings and dents from driving and fitting. $100 + shipping.... If you wany I'll even throw the 3in flomasters I have for $20.. Let me know Check out my thread in part for sale if you need anything else:TU: http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=44009
I'm Yanking the motor and trans out Friday.... I'll shoot some pics thursday, If I can get the Headers down..(gonna try to get those out of the way first). Still waithing to hear from Vin as to if he is interested or noto No:

Hey Jeff Still waiting to hear from you. If you changed you mind please let me know so I'm not depending on buying your headder and I can search elsewhere. Thanks ~ VINNY
VIN.. I sent pics to the XVIN@aol.com address.... if you didn't get them I can resend it to ya. Let me know:TU:
sorry jeff i didnt recive the pics. I did recive 18 pics from a weird email address on the 7th that look like a porn thing or something so i deleted it. I hope it wasnt from you. Any way, please try to send em' again Thanks Vin
Resent them a minute ago... Only Two pics... and my Email address is the same as my username here... No porn here, but Buicks have been known to cure ED:Brow: p
haha, CRAP! I still didnt get em. Something must be wrong with my computer i have to call AOL and find out what the problem is Send the pics to xvin99@aol.com. I just got this account and might have forgotten to ad the 99 part, sorry. but it dose work. Vinny
Silverbird, it is highly unlikely that you will be able to install the engine with the headers already installed...sorry. Usually, the best way is to lay the headers in the engine bay in their respective locations then drop the engine in. You may be able to attach the headers just before the engine is completely down.
thanks for the tip Adam. I plan to put tack the headders on the motor and drop it in and if it works then ill pull it back up and torque it or do like u said whatever is easyest.. i also heard that grinding the 4 pointy shipping TABs coming off both upper sides of the block is a good idea for headders. Easyier to install and change plugs. And it wont effect the structer of the block. Has anyone else heard of this or done this? :Smarty:
I just put the jack stands up almost as high as they would go, and put them in with the motor in.... Thats how they came out Thursday. Pics comming :TU:
2 Not pretty, but no bad rust... If you take a wrench and tap them they give off a nice solid ring everywhere you hit...
NICE! I'll Take it. Before i do , what did it come out of? I need to make sure it'll fit my application. Email me with what ever info about sending $$ where to and how much and how. THANKS AGAING JEFF!!!!! ~ VIN xvin@aol.com
First they were in my 84 Cutlass, then got swapped into the 72 GS... I'll check on shipping.. PM me your address so I can get a quote.... Do you want the Flowmasters too??? or just the headers and collectors (2.5 & 3.5 in). Let me know. Later, Jeff
