Ok so here is my delima. I have a 1982 camaro with a built chevy 350 from an unkown vehicle. All i know is the heads which the part# is 3973370 which refrences as a 69-70 z-28 replacement cylindar head. So do I purchase a set of headers for a 68-81 camaro with a 350 or do I need a set of headers for a 82 camaro.
I was looking at theses headers from Summit but there for a pre 82 but it will fit the heads.

Get them for an 82. All headers until 98 (LS1) use the SBC exahust pattern in the F-Body. It looks like this: o oo o

Therefore, you need headers that fit the body, not the SBC (since the SBC is always the same, even the 400s). Even the LT1 uses the conventional SBC exhaust pattern. It's once you go to the LS1, that it looks like this: o o o o

Yep, buy whatever brand you want as long as it is for a 3rd gen 82-92.

Full lengths required me to make a coupe of modifications to the A arm mounts.

that sucks, i didn't have any issues there. i did though notch/channel part of my subframe to keep the duals tucked up in nice.

I just ordered a set of flowtech full length longtube headers. They stated that they are custom made for my application, and that they fit like stock. I let you guys now how they fit when i recieve my new dart iron eagle platinum heads.

BWAH!!! What the hell size are those pieces of junk? That has to be the worst header available i thought? 1 1/2 primarys i have seen last, on a set of real heads? You must not want peak power.

My hookers fell right in place.

I also heard that new or solid motor mounts helps the fitment too. Looks great man, verry clean.

omg i didnt see that when i ordered them. i guess i better send them back. I cant believe they even manufacure a long tube header with 1 1/2 inch primaries.
