Hello everyone,
My 65 fastback currently has long tube headers on it, alluminum intake, holly 600, and a small 268 comp cam. It runs very well for what it is. The headers need to be replaced due to leaking at the head. I have tried many things to stop the leaking and had some success for a while but the headers have been a royal pain. I could not get these off without cutting them off.
Does anyone know if the try-y headers are an easy install? Do you have to remove the heads or pull the motor to get them on? Are there leaking and warping issues?
Also, I am considering the HIPO 289 manifolds. How much power will I lose if I step down from the long tubes to these? Are the HIPO's a lot better than stock manifolds or is it just hype? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Jim
