L31 Extreme Budget Build

On another note, I might hit you up for some help with a good starting tune when we get ready to fire up my son’s truck in a couple of months. I just got the EBL Flash for it last week and it’s been about ten years since I’ve messed with it.

No problem, here to help if I can.

That’s exactly how I remember them heavy, thick and shiny. I thought the nickel looked so cool when it started turn blue.
The only problem I have with them is that they were the first headers that I bought, been comparing everything else to them since.

That first pair is why when I discovered they made them for the Express chassis with a SBC Vortec, I bought a set for it too. Best way I can describe how they work is they make the vehicle feel 1,000 lbs lighter. Just more grunt everywhere. People wanted to buy cheaper, inferior 4-1 headers so I get why Doug Thorley discontinued most of them for SBC chassis vehicles. They even had EO numbers for California smog back in the day too.

As Derek would say, New Old Stock, lost the receipt though.

i think doug thorley got divorced and his wife owns the company now. i believe he started a spin off called "Doug's Headers". i have tri-y's on my caprice, made by a guy in Washington state I love them.

That is what I have heard as well.

Those LT1 B/D-car tri-ys are also nice if you are talking about the Clear Image ones.

Manifolds are off and started laying out the exhaust system. It is actually about 2' too long at the moment, thus some of the pipes will be cut down once I start assembling it.
