So, was searching through Craigslist this morning like I do every morning and came across these:

Picked them up this afternoon for $20! :eek: They aren't ceramic coated, just painted silver and have a little bit of surface rust, but I can't complain for what I paid for them. I'm going to get the paint off and then hit it with some BBQ paint.

The only part number I can find on them is 054 33 99. From looking at the pics on Summit Racing, I think they might be either Flowtechs or Holleys.

Do you guys have any recommendations for gaskets?

I know I may have some issues with the front driveshaft, so I guess we'll see when I try to put them in. I got them to replace my leaking manifold, so if they don't work, I'll probably hit the JY for another manifold.

I thought there was only problems with front driveshafts on solid axles for these trucks..

If for some reason they dont work for you, i'll take em!

For Chevy's, maybe. I have yet to see a set like these on Craiglist for that cheap. And when they are, you know they'll get snatched up fast. Sure beats paying $200 bucks for a set.

Got the headers all cleaned up and painted with some high temp BBQ paint. We'll see if it works or not.

I'm not sure when they'll be going on, since I want to do the exhaust at the same time.
