I have these on my 1980 Malibu. There were three issues with mine. One, the a/c box was in the way (not a problem for you). Two, you have to use a shortie oil filter (which they tell you to do on their website). And three, the right header hit the rear lower A-arm mount. I know a few others also had this problem. I just had to cut a little notch out of the mount, nothing serious. Other than that, they fit well.

Nice!! Thanks for the info.

Do you have any pictures of these installed?

this is the only one I really have. You can kind of see how close the right header is to the A-arm mount. On the left you can see there's about 1-2" of clearance. Also, the filter is a Fram PH-30.

Hmmm... The way I am reading the description on the headers I linked where they are a fenderwell header.

Are yours the same part number as I linked?

I'm trying to find a set of fenderwell headers for my race car.

Thanks for the pictures.
