Cool car man,that engine looks sweet what headers do you have on there and how was the fit?

thanks man, the headers are just the cheap hooker headers from summit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HOK-2451HKR/ they took a little modification to make them fit and a few smacks with a hammer. if you do get them i would suggest fitting them and re painting them because the paint that they come with isnt that great.

I like your air dam. I've been thinking about making something like that myself. I think I found some window crank handles that would look good in there. They are black with a brushed aluminum insert(fake I assume). They are stock s10 cranks if I remember right. If you're interested, i'll try to get part numbers tomorow.

it was really easy to make, took about 30 minutes to do everything. i was ******** on my dad because he was putting a stock air dam on his malibu wagon and i was able to make one up and install it before he could even put one on. and i bought a set of window cranks off of smmit but they really suck and are kinda small so yeah a part # would be great!

i just made this 2 days ago with an old piece of aluminum angle iron, ive wanted to make it for a while but never had the time, i thought it came out decent. its 1.25''

kinda hard to see cuz of the bumper

and the last thing i did was sand paint and put on the grand prix cross bar

so now its all up to date. for suspension i have the 2'' beltech drop spindles, new rear springs, air shocks, f41 front and rear sway bars, jounce bars, cutlass fender to core support braces, radiator X braces and i think thats it. ill post more pics tomarrow. thanks for looking
