    Anyone have any experience installing full length headers on a 71 Riviera? I'd appreciate any assistance.

    Ditto that! Wondering about fitment issues as well.

    i used the sch headers from ta on my 72. 2 inch primary monsters. had to dimple one tube. not easy, thick bad boys. and i had to remove a brace from frame to core support. next i turned the trans crossmember around and re drilled the parking brake cable hole, then trim it up. i got 3 inch pipes onto them without removing too much vertical material. get collector extensions from summit, they are shorter than what ta provides. after its done all you have to do to get them out is undo lines from trans with the car on ramps and they basically fall out. smaller tubes would be easier but i like power.
