Looking to see what issues I may face, putting on a set of headers on my 318.

I know that with the column shifter, linkage will need to be modified, but I also have the goofy part not listed idler arm(It's a K7041 not a K7086)

Would shorties, just be an easier way?

Thanks!
 
depends what headers you get.tti's you might have to modify linkage but cheapie hedman or hookers you don't.you want the car way high in the air.you also want to take the bolts out ofthe spools on the mounts.remove the dist cap so it dont hit the firewall.remove the starter.remove the draglink and tierod ends.i would not use shorty headers.....:Dits not that difficult just take your time.....
 
Yes you have to get the block pretty high in the air, but before you do... remember to remove the fan shroud. Ask me how I know.

Schumacher has a new set of tri-Y headers for small blocks that I would try for a street car
