hey guys, new to the board. I am in the process of swapping a 6.0 and 4L60E into a 71 nova. Does anybody have any recommendations on headers. The Year One Camaro headers will not work. Thanks.

The only ones I know of that might would be from Street & Performance.

AL stainless works. They make them for alot of cars. I dont have the web address off the top of my head. But here is thier Email address.
Alstainlessworks@aol.com drop them a line and see if they can help you out.

On a side note, I am in the process of doing what you were talking about. Just welding on new flanges, and rerouting the pipes.

Thanks for the info. I think I will stay with my plan as of now. I want the engine set back in the chassis as far as possible and the headers I have allow me to do that so I am going to replace flanges and reroute the pipes. Does anyone know how much jet hot or others charges for ceramic coating?

Jet Hot goes by the size of the headers (shorties, mid-length, full-size). I had a set of MAC mid-lengths coated for $179 I think.
