I recently purchased a 1980 T/A w/ a BBC 454. Everything on it was pretty much stock. Since then we have purchased a new intake and carb and a cam. The problem now lies on what headers to get. I'm new to the old school motors and learning as I go just like I did with the LS1. Now, when I search for headers I obviously can not search for 1980 Firebird 454 headers. So what do I search for when looking for headers for my wanna be "Bandit"............

We got a set of Hedman 2" for my wifes 71 Camaro with a 489 in it and they fit very good. "Old school" motors rock. You can build mega torque with them.

The headers you need will probably be the same as a 74-81 camaro.

Being such a low powered engine, I wouldn't go over 2", you don't need it.
Not sure how it's laid out, but as mentioned, it will probably take a 2nd gen Camaro.

any headers for a 2nd gen with a bigblock will fit Dan, i have a set of bbc headers that were on chris 68 camaro, you can try to see if they'll fit.

This is what I have on my 71 camaro f body.
My car is stock riding height. They wll sit low on a car thats dropped, I want to put 1 1/2" lowering springs and will find out then.

I would think the 80 T/A f body is the same. They have 2" primary tubes.
The 2 1/8 tubes don’t fit without B.F.H. modifications.


They make them without the coating; I think the coating they put on is not worth crap. Much cheaper without.

I have never seen a set of Hooker headers last longer than 2 years.
