Flowtech/jegs headers

[Blake B]

Is there any issue with fitment on 400 blocks? My oil dipstick was blocked by the stock manifolds so headers are being ordered.

Im running Flowtechs on my 400 chevy with no problems. You can always bend the dipstick tube if you need to

When I was in high school, ~1998 or so I ordered some flowtech headers and put them on. I had to remove the oil pressure sender to make them fit (who needs one, right?). I stuck a bolt in the sender's hole that was the wrong thread type thinking it was just for a jolly test ride with open headers. When i started my car I blew 5 quarts of oil all over my driveway. Since I was in reverse I never looked back to see the long black puddle, my engine seized a miles down the road, I had to walk all the way home, my mom was f'in pissed at the mess and I had to take the bus to school... I'm 33 now and still have the car and I'm shopping for headers again, wont even consider flowtech for my Monte even though i still have the sticker under my hood.

the more you know.

doesnt sound like that was the headers fault, you put the wrong thread in and it blew out. user error.

I have the flowtech afterburners on my cutty n love them. Like stated before, takem down to metal and refinish yourself. The afterburners were easy to install and cost $185 3 years ago, cant say anything about the regular flowtechs as I have no experience with them

Somebody should make a youtube video of the installation of the flowtech headers in a gbody with an sb old/chevy engine.
Id love to see it done correctly and/or without anybody throwing a temper tantrum....lol

When I did mine I simply set them in with the engine hanging a few inches above of the frame since the engine was going in for the first time. Wasnt hard at all and if I had to do it with the engine already in there I would probably just unbolt the mounts and lift the engine alittle bit. I have a full size starter and I use a regular size oil filter and I have never had issues replacing either one with the Flowtechs in.

I just installed flowtechs today. I removed the horizontal motor mount bolts and lifted the engine a few inches and they slide right in... I installed mine from the top and I have a sbc 406!

I just installed mine today with no issues. The front clip is off and the car is on stands but they went in with the engine bolted in OK. You have to get them perfect to get them in place though, both went in from the bottom.
