Tell me about it! Makes you want to cry! I've spent $500 for converting my stick shift manual to an automatic and still need to drop a load for a rear end! Bugs the crap out of me.

I'd use L&L headers. They are built much better than the SuperComps and are nickel coated so they won't rust. They usually cost around $450 but you don't need new frame mounts to use them. You do need motor mounts though. They run right around $100. Personally, I wouldn't use the L&L mounts. I had a set come apart on me. Try [link:www.performanceunlimited.com| Clicking here] for motor mounts. They look nicer than the L&L pieces.

HI
"FORD 79" Do those L&L headers sit inside the frame or outside? What is there HTTP?
But really, there about the same price overall.
Thanks for the option!
