Edelbrock headers are excellent. However the ones you are looking at there have a slip fit merge collector which needs to be welded on.

Those aren't coated. Edelbrocks Ti Tech coating is just a fancy name for high heat paint.

I just did a search on them and found good reviews on them. I understand that they arnt "Coated" but they are Stainless. The welding wont be an issue either.

Exactly I've seen a set of those on a member's car, it takes longer for them to flake off, consider that it will have to be recoated eventually.

For a rare car like yours, look at Dynatech's, stainless, complete system, proven to make power.

Those headers are not stainless either. Go to Edelbrocks site and look at that part #. They are mild steel. Summit listed them wrong. The stainless headers are a couple hundred bucks more.

I just bought Edelbrock 65653's. They are fully welded and Ti Tech coated. They look nice and the Y pipe is much nicer than any Y pipe I have used before. I haven't got them bolted up yet.
