I just wanted to get some ideas for headers. What have people used and where did the get them? I have done some searching, but want some more input. I am looking for buget friendly. So tell me what you've used in your Nova or 1st gen Camaro/Firebird.
Thanks

I used the Carshop 1" setback plates. It puts the trans in the stock location so you can use the factory trans crossmember and driveshaft if you want. My car had PS but I did change over to a manual gearbox. The headers literally drop right in. Even the drivers side fits through the top around the gearbox.

You can save a few bucks buy calling Summit or Jegs and giving them this site.

They have the headers for 509.99 and Jegs or Summit will beat that price. That what I did.

Depending on how much power you're trying to make and how low you want to go, Speedway Motors has nice looking set of shorty headers they sell coated or uncoated. I'm planning on getting them because I'm more worried about ground clearance than dyno numbers.
