Pontiac 400 in a Grand Prix 2+2, just a few questions...

[86GP2+2]

I just tried putting Firebird headers in my T-Type with a 455 SD and the passenger side hits the lower control arm bracket and the driver side hits the firewall a little. I bought the Flowtechs so maybe that's the problem. Thinking of cutting the tubes and move them a little. Wont take much to maje them fit. Anyone else gotten further than this?

That's funny, those are the headers I have and was wondering the same thing. I am going with a set of Mad Dog Headers probably, these headers are bad enough to do once.

I ordered a set of the Mad Dog Headers. I'm going to paint them with VHT and then wrap them. Also, I found out the perches I have are the shorter ones, so I should be good. Anyone think the stock style motor mount will be ok or should I get polyurethane?

I've never had a problem with the rubber motor mounts even with a manual transmission. BUT- here is what I do. I bolt a short length of chain from a head bolt stud, to the A-arm stud, just on the driver's side. Keep it loose enough so the motor's vibrations won't travel down the chain and sound off from the frame. But do keep it short enough so when the motor loads and tries to rotate over to the passenger side, the chain stops it. That saves the motor mount from getting ripped apart by a healthy motor. That is an ancient hot rodder's trick from the 50's and it really works.

I'm interested to see how the headers fit for you. I had mine high temp powder coated. I haven't pulled them out of the bags yet. I see they updated the pricing on their website too. Less confusing now.

I just remembered, I need inner fenders. Anyone know where I can find any for this? It seems not all g-bodys had the same ones.
