Re: need help on which hraders will fit a 81 cutlass

Just buy some Summit, Jegs, or Flowtech full-tube headers for a G-Body w/a SBC. I think you can get the Flowtechs at Autozone. Those are all very reasonably priced.

I have Flowtechs on my 82 with a Chevy 350 and a G force crossmember. I had to trim some of the edge off the left side of the crossmember and had to file and pull in the right rear tube flange to get them to fit nicely.

There's pics of where the mounts should set in the engine swap stickies at the top of the page. And block hugger headers won't work, they will dump right into the engine crossmember. Shorties or ok but not block huggers.
