i just ordered the 30003 headers for 349!!!! they have one pair of the 30003's left.

BTW i have basic knowlege of cars and basic tools, and i will be working under a carport with jack/jackstands. about how long will it take me to install the headers?

thanks,
David

 

A weekend. Get a buddy over to help you, it'll go faster and you can drink more beer that way.

 

It'll probably be about a whole day's job. Two depending on how long you want to labor on it.

 

Took my brother and I 6hrs to istall mine in the driveway, no AC was in the car.

 

Not anymore....I ordered them on tuesday and they arrived today

I guess SUMMIT doesn't wanna carry them anymore cause the online catalog says NOT AVAILABLE.

 

If its your first shot, should take bout 2 days. Take your time and do it right. I just got done helping a friend out with his SLP long tubes on his LS1. Boy that was a pain in the a**.

 

i was wondering if i could slip the engine in with the headers on or do i have to lay them in the engine bay and then mount them engine after the engine is installed. i have i while so im just trying to plan ahead the motor isnt even together yet, i have big swap meet this weekend which is where im going to get most of the stuff i need. (new)
thanx for the help

 

I mounted mine on the block today and will attempt to install the engine with them on it.

 

Good luck.
I tried that for a while.
I think you'll need to install them after the motor's in.

Hey Guys!
I have the 3005's on my '84 T/A (1 3/4" primaries, w/o AIR) and I put them on the 350 before i dropped it in, worked out great, and I'm really glad I did it that way, because I think it would have been a major PITA to install them after the engine was in. Oh, BTW, if you have the extra $$ and can wait an extra week, send your headers out to Jet Hot and get them ceramic coated, I did, and I'm really glad, they look so much better, and since mine were new pieces Jet Hot guarantees that they will never rust. Anyway, that's just my .02, if you have any other quesitons feel free to ask!!!

With weather and time permitting, we may drop my motor in this week. And tip on what to do about putting it in with the headders on? We were thinking of putting on one side and doing it that way. Any other info? thanks

 

I actually droped my motor in with both sides on, I left the bolts finger tight though in case we needed to take them off real quick. My heater box wasn't installed yet when I put my motor in, so if you have your heater box installed you might get some interference from that. I had no trouble dropping my motor in with the 1 3/4" headers on, so I think it should work allright for you, but keep an eye on your heater box if you've got it installed. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask and I'll try and help out! Good luck!

Yeah the heater box is still in there! So is all of the ac stuff. I got mine coated too so i definately don't want to mess around with them too much! I guess you just have to do it slowly, thats all. There will be atleast two of us there, maybe three, so i am sure if something would happen we would know. Thanks-Bryan

 

Nope....the motor went right in with them on........on the first try also

 

Good to hear.
I know on mine it just wasn't a possibility.

Yeah it was strange...almost seems like they were made for THIS Trans Am
