Header Install (82 Blazer)

Some things I learned while trying to install a set of replacement headers for my 82 4x4 Blazer.

Step 1: Cut off several 3/16 x 2.5 inch bolts

Make sure that whatever bolts you use, that you get them with a non threaded shank. It will make it easier to thread into the block w/o cutting your fingers.. In my experience, vise-grips work better on these as well.

Yeah I changed mine on a cavalier z22 98, I putted a Racing header, it gave me close to +25 hp.

Looks good -- If you have a few hours... a bottle of simple green and some cotton rags will go far to clean up your enigne bay ;) I try to keep mine clean (quick wipe down when I wash) which makes working in there more enjoyable. Plus its easier to spot a leak ;)

=) yea - This thing is a pretty big beater, so I haven't got around to the cleaning part.. I am afraid if I cleaned it, then parts would fall off!

It's fun though, I bought it for a steal, and only intend for it to be a toy..
