I've heard conflicting stories about painting headers. I just painted mine with the vht stuff and baked them so I'll see what happens. If it burns off whatever, I can't afford ceramic coating.

Re: 83 Firebird new grilles

I agree with everyone else, trim it out and it will look more professional. Also- the barbed wire license plate frame isn't gettin you any style points. From a distance the grills don't look half bad.

Welcome to TGO

1. What exactly is wrong with your current motor?
2. If you are considering a swap 95% of people on this board will say go with the 350 (me being one of them).

I also say pull it. It'll go much smoother on a bench where you can position it to whatever angle you need than hunched over in an engine bay. Plus if you mess up it will need to come out anyway.

Re: Where to Find: Vacuum Tubing?

I agree very easy to kink that stuff. Also if you're replacing vacuum lines you might want to pick up an assortment of plastic fittings. They get brittle and crack just like the hose.
