Headers showed up today..............there sweet looking!!!
I have an 87 SWB that is TBI. I have a 383 stroker I'm ploping in and taking out the computer. I have a couple questions on the swap.
I would like to know how these fit? I have the summit headers and they didnt work, they block plugs #3&4 and also hit the starter. I guess that's the price I pay for going with the cheaper headers. ???
i aint never heard of that before maybe hitting the starter it crossmember but never hitting the plugs i would get a hold of summit and talk to them its not gm changed were they put the plugs at. but you do see them with dents
to get things working right. and about hitting the starter you could always bend it

I noticed in this picture that someone beat a dimple in the header for the #3 plug, I guess it is a problem however I didnt want to beat a new set of ceramic coated headers.
I have sent the headers back to summit and purchased the edelbrock shorty headers with the A.I.R. tubes which is direct replacement using my exhaust. I figured the money I save by not doing a new exhaust system is about the differance in price and less of a hassle.
Thanks for the response.
