Those Doug's headers look really good... How was the fit?

I honestly don't think I touched anything as I slid them between the engine and frame.

Summit wanted 900.00

I found them new in box on eBay for 450 shipped. The guys carries all Doug's headers.

The Doug's also has the 02 sensor bung welded high in the headers so a heated sensor is not needed. All others I looked at required a header collector with the adapter and that is to far down stream.

I welded the bung to my collector just on the exhuast pipe side, not the header it self. I  got a nice set of hedmans and had them ceramic coated satin black so I wasn't about to go cutting and welding on them.

I couldn't find any that had that bung welded in other than these. The Doug's came welded in. It's really nice. I'll get some pics.

90% wiring is done. Just need to mount and wire fuse box,
Computer prom is back and VATS delete is done.
New 87 sending unit and vet pump is in.

I have everything to finish it. Just not the time.  It's been so cold this winter and now I have fishing season with tournament trail.

It hasn't been started, it's just not close enough.

Thanks everyone for your support and input.
I am broke and can't afford to finish.
So this thread won't go any further.

I was looking forward to your TPI build.
I have an 81 8'step side 4x4 with a SB 400 with TPI.
I blew up the motor a few years ago and parked the truck indoors.
I bought a M1028 Military truck to play around with, and the stepside kinda got forgotten about.
Your project got me thinking about a game plan for my truck.  Its been sitting way too long.
Good luck with your truck.  I hope it sells quickly.

Ok
I have had a lot happen in the past month. Got a raise, and a drivable vehicle.

So the truck didn't get sold. It's back in the shop and after I get back from Cincinnati this coming weekend I'll be hopefully finishing up the wiring.
My goal is to have the truck on the road in a month.
