Headman ceramics, they call them the off-road only headers. Great value, good header, bung for smog...Yes gaskets...Stage 8 bolts. No problems.
And there is a neat little badge you can see through the wheel wells. Mine were in boxes in the truck when I bought it so I can't comment on the price.

I had some headmans on my El Camino, SBC. They would constantly burn my spark plug boot. If you can't make a header for a SBC... Called a couple more places today and they told me no dice, they don't make them for the 460. Now I understand why prices are so high, limited supply. It has nothing to do with the cost of materials or manufacturing.

First off, I've read your build over on one of the other sites and really like your truck. I wish I had your steering. I currently have a set of Edelbrock headers and Y pipe that I scored used. Thick flanges at the head, not stainless though. I don't think they make them anymore though. I know where there is a complete Banks Power Pack setup that I stupidly sold when I had sold one of my last trucks, but it's for a manual trans truck and I have the E4OD. I may be going to buy it, if i do I'll be selling what I have.

I mistakenly looked at Pappa's sig when I looked up the part number. I should have paid more attention. Bad Eak! Bad! Bad!

I don't want to steal your deal but if you are willing pm the price and location. They might still be too expensive for my budget.

I wrestled with the same thing man. My buddy has Doug Thorley, he loves them and said he noticed a good torque difference.

I have an early 93 without air injection so it was hard to find Doug Thorley. Banks were more $$$ but easier to find and well proven. That's what I went with and glad I did.

With how much heat our 460s put out, I wouldn't pinch pennies on manifolds, you'll get what you pay for.
