Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Installing Headers



My S&S headers didn't come with bolts either. I just bought locking header bolts for a SBC since they were going on my 3400. Not sure of the thread for the 3800 manifold bolts.
 


and yea i found out they dont come with new bolts... that means i gotta be REALLY careful taking them off

oh wow you must have gotten lucky. im gonna soak them all up the night before and then put on more when i do it. then im gonna put threadlocer on the bolts when i install them to make sure nothing comes loose
 


and i feel kind of stupid for asking this, but whats the best point to jack the car up from the front? and whats the best point to put the jack stands under? ive never actually had to do this yet with anything ive done... ive always just thrown it up on ramps for changing the oil... which i probably could just do that
 
The frame rails, where the pinch weld is. do it slowly as I have had these "factory points" bend on me before...

Also secure any wratched straps and get them tight to atleast where they motor sits regularly with the dogbones attached for making things easier on yourself.
 
Let us know how the install goes on the ZZP headers. I'm looking into getting either them or the TOG set...I'm just trying to do all the research I can before buying a set of $750 headers.
