if you have a "port" on one of ur headers (that isnt the original 02 sensors) its possible that it was for a wide band sensor.

Thanks for your help. I just bought a set of JBA headers for it. I got them for 50 from a buddy si I dont have to worry about the port anymore. Do you know where i can find info or instructions on installing the headers?

thanks for your honesty. Ive got a ton of years working on and modding cars. I figured that they are going to be a pain in the a$$. I spent last night under it fixing, tightening, and looking. I think im gonna drop the engine out just to make it easier.

once again not trying to be an a$$ but in all your years of modding you didnt come across o2 sensors or an egr tube? And theres no need to pull the whole motor to do headers... MAybe jack it up a little to make it easier but pulling the motor is a lot of work just to put headers in. Just sayin...

Cool thanks. All of the cars I have built have been 700+ hp beast with no emissons on them at all. Im learning this emissions stuff as I go. The car will eventually be twin turbo, caged, and prob on a tube frame but thats down the road as the wife loves it and ill pro have to buy her another one before I cut this one up. Im going to pick up the headers tmrw morn. What type of gaskets do you all run? I usually run Fel-pro copper gaskets on my race cars but I dont think they will be required for this. Im thinking about running Kooks gaskets but value input.
