Re: 1980 El Camino Fresh New Paint!!! TELL ME WHAT U THINK??

So my bro in law is a mechanic and does work on VolksWagen bugs old school...and i guess some cat owed him cash from time to time, and my bro in law remembered that i wanted to put headers in elko....so he picked these up for that guy that owes him cash and hooked me up with them for FREE...SWEET!!!!... So i get home pop the hood and try to see if they going to fit, but it looks like are not going to fit...

His homie said he had them on his 1987 Chevy Monte Carlo Aerocoupe with 350 engine, he said that these cleared with no problem....


WHAT SHOULD I DO? I really dont think they going to fit..and to top it off theres no brand on them....should i paint them, get them atleast decent looking and sell them?

Re: 1980 El Camino Fresh New Paint!!! TELL ME WHAT U THINK??

the headers look just like the one i just put in my 79 cutlass with a 350 a week ago i dident think thay would fit and mo name anywhere on them but i gave it a shot in after a few hours i got them in had to lift the motor and trans as high as i could get them and take the motor mounts starter in oil filter off the motor the pass side went in form the top side and the drivers side form under it when u bering the motor back down go slow and move the headers as needed so the motor dont sit on them and ull be fine
 
Re: 1980 El Camino Fresh New Paint!!! TELL ME WHAT U THINK??
