I guess for headers ill try a old junky set to check fitment and go from there.
This is a fall winter project so just trying to figure out what i wanna do in the next few weeks so i can start collecting up stuff.
Here is where im at so far.
Wrecking yard has several Vortec engines and wants $750 for a complete guaranteed runner that i choose. Of course i would want the one with best compression, lowest mileage.
Bring it home tare it apart and freshen it up with new rings, maybe flat top pistons, bearings, lifters and rebuilt heads. Try for a good quench build. Use the Summit 8800 cam, 0411 swap, Headers.
Maybe spring for some Aluminum heads.
Finally learn how to use HPTurners to do more then turn off vats.
Edit: I have also thought about just getting a Reman short block and starting with that.
