hooker headers

i know header questions get asked all the time but ive read alot of past posts and none are specific enough for me

i want to know how well the hooker headers fit, were they a pain to put in,did you have to raise the engine, please post problems

and im planning to get a floor automatic shifter kit so i can put them.

And i know the shock towers are a sqeeze and a pain

thanks

 

For me, all I had to do was raise the engine on the drivers side a few inches and wrestle that one in. I let that side back down and the passenger side went right in no problem. Do the drivers side first.
Only fitment issue for me is the pitman arm hits a tube a bit before full lock turning left.
No big deal to me.

 

Same as Ray. Not a bad fit. Especially after you do it a couple of times. Just have to get a system down. You have the advantage that others can tell you how to do it.

 

It's not hard the passenger side goes right in and you onl have to jack the drivers side up about 4 inches

 

I couldn't make a left (I think) turn with 6901 to save my life. I would turn if I got on it, but it was lifting the engine to swing under the tube

 

I don't have the Hookers but I have headers. I had to raise the engine as mentioned but I also had to have the car up on some tall stands.

 

I found that the drivers side went in pretty dry. I got the header part way in then lowered the engine part way down and it slid right in. An extra set of hands will really help too. i did it alone the first time.

 

i bought some summit headers but i couldnt get them to even clear the shock towers but im going to give it a second try with hooker because many people say they fit the best, and this was before i knew i need a psdb and auto floor shifter.

many people insist summit headers fit but ill believe it when i see it.

 

Mine are Black Jacks. I don't know if they would have been a problem cause someone before me banged the hell out of the shock towers.
You have an advantage now. You found us early. I didn't find this place till my motor and trans was already in for the second time. Otherwise I would have shaved the towers. I just want to get it on the road now. Ask and search all you can when you get into a pinch or think of something you want to try. It may save some time and fustration.
