Project: L-body headers

[IsaacHayes]

92+ 282 mounts FTW

[RedBird]

you gonna supply them + compatible trannies for every 5 speed j-body owner who wants headers? :P

[IsaacHayes]

Title says L body ... not J! J/K I'm sure John can make them fit both 5'spds and everything. The 92+ L body 5'spd mounts should not be an issue at all.

Knowing that the Beretta/Corsica/Tempest (end prod. 1991) was made from 87-96, at a marketing standpoint, you'd want to target all the L bodies. Little more effort now would have a bigger chance in paying off later ANDDDD it opens the doors to the older J body enthusiasts (1994 and older) .

[IsaacHayes]

Yup, the 98 and older grand am should be able to use them too, they have the same steering/front end setup as J/L and probably some other body styles as well.

quick thread-jack - what's the thread pitch on the OPSU? i.e. what fitting do i need to buy to move it 45* or 90*? mine's too close to my front downpipe as it is, replaced it once after it melted internally and sprayed oil everywhere, and my gauge stopped working again, so this one's on it's way out too.

1/4" NPT

You can get them at an auto store or Home Depot/Lowe's etc.

thanks john how's it coming with the headers?

[ForcedFirebird]

Not much done in the past couple days. Wasn't feeling good Monday and Tue, stayed home

Looking for a TIG welder actually to seal up the other 2 sets. Too much money to hire someone to do them, already skimping by with the low cost of these sets and only saving grace is I had most of the materials purchased a long time ago.

We have also been discussing some other header/manifold designs for the budget-minded peeps

[ForcedFirebird]

Ben has helped out tremendously! TIG is secured, you guys are in for a treat

[Weatheralls Auto]

Make them into turbo headers fitting a Third gen J with stick, then they would fit anything LOL

gonna ask a Silly question but are these only going to be good for the 3x00 L-bodies or will they also work with the 2nd Gen 2800 L-Bodies??????

there was a 2nd gen L-body?

[bszopi]

87 and 88 (??) L-bodies got the 2.8L, which is a Gen2 engine. 89-93 L-bodies got the 3.1L, which is also a Gen2 engine. So its not a Gen2 L-body, its a Gen2 engine...

[IsaacHayes]

These will work for all V6 L bodies, 87-96, any trans type.
