Ok thanks dude. Looks like you had your entire front end disasembled, bumper, body pieces, rad support and everything off?
easy to work on then but alot of work and parts to keep track of and my stepdads already harping every day when he gets his garage back after only 2 weeks :-(
Good to know stock manifolds wont work as is.....now do i risk throwing away potential 100$ by cutting up the stock manifold to try out my cast iron welding skills or just buy headers and hope to recoup a 100$ by selling manifolds.
What manifolds do you have? Stock pickup? They aren't worth $100, maybe $20 if you are lucky if someone wanting to do a turbo setup wants them.
Speed engineering sells a decent set of stainless longtubes for G body. I used ls1 f body headers at the time because affordable stainless G body headers didn't exist.
I had the front end off my car because I wanted to clean the frame rails and needed to replace the door hinge pin bushings. By no means does it have to come off.
