Break in cam with new Schumacher ceramic headers?

As stated above, because it can be done successfully and it’s a nightmare to switch out 440 manifolds/headers in an A body.

Yes indeed, it can be done right. It takes about 2 minutes of wrong to touch up those pretty headers to the ugly side!
The header company says, "Don't do it." Why would you want to? I think they post that warning for a reason.


Header companies say that to avoid customers that don't do things correctly then wanting a redo because the customer messed up. My all time favorite was a kid I knew that broke in the engine with a old beater set of headers, swapped them out for the nice shiny ceramic, didn't do any adjustment or tune up , went for a drive and blued the hell out of the tubes. Told him to get the timing right, nah, all good... yep...
