[Guest Anonymous]

I'm pretty new in the feild of fast cars and hope ypu can give me some tips and sugestions. i have a 72 240 that i am droping in a '88 chevy 350 truck engine that i frakenstined a 84 f-body carb intake on otherwise its stock and I have a 700r4 i plan on running. any one know where i can get a set of cheap headers right now i have a set of free street headers of a corvette i don't think they will fit. I was also told by my local Z specialist that 240's were not posi and the 1st owner claims its stock but it would spin over both tires ot the original engine. only second owner thanks for the input

I beleive some Block Huggers(headers) can be had for less than a hundred bucks painted. Check with Summit or Jegs. As for the non posi issue, I think it is my under standing that the reason a solid axle car spins one tire is because it lifts the left tire as torque is applied, rotating the housing and unloading that tire. On a Independant rear suspension the two axles aren't solidly held together, so that the torque cannot lift the left tire to unload it. Some of the other members here that are more technically qualified to speak on said subject may speak on this as well

Yeah, I used Heddman blockhuggers that were under $100.00 a set from Jegs I believe it was. (them or summit can't recall) They work fine but are uncoated, but then again I can replace them nearly three times for the price of a coated set. I would like coated, but to many other things on the car need the use of that money.
