@Too Many Projects: We did manage to get it out with the plugs still in. What helped was we had the car on stands and were able to pull the header away and down (but not out) before pulling the engine up.

Sorry, I meant drivers side.


The reason I say that is…..my headers are Hooker Competition Headers. The reason I know, even though the tag's missing, is because the holes are there where the rivets were.

And that is an easier method of re-assembly, if you are comfortable with the car that high on stands. Leave or take the oil filter off as well as the plugs and the header will slide right up in place from underneath.

That's probably what'll happen. I'll likely lower the engine in with the car on the ground, and then jack it up to get everything underneath buttoned up and the headers on.

I'll nab some pictures of the other header tonight or tomorrow.

Here's the driver's side header. Also, the very green torque converter. I don't know if it's a stocker or how to even tell that.

Those headers should be easy to get in. I've got the Hooker Super Comp 2 1/8 inch headers and they are a little more challenging. I've had them off and on about 20 times.

That converter color looks like Jasper green. If so, it's a stocker

Ironically enough, a post on this very forum has answered my header question!

They're Blackjack headers. Good to know!

Nice find !! That aluminum coating is very distinctive. I actually have a pair of these for my '70 Chevelle and wasn't sure who made them.

I don't believe mine had the aluminum coating. Looked like plain old white paint to me. Which I think looks cooler anyway. Like I said, I think I'll use regular header paint for now, and then after the engine's broken in and I've had a season of driving it, I'll pull the headers back out and send 'em to JetHot or someone for a proper coating of white.
