will i need gasket maker sealer stuff to put on the gaskets? ill need high temp stuff if i do right?

 

Gasket seal on the headers? I wouldn't. the gaskets will seal when you tork the bolts down.

 

No gasket sealer.Just header gaskets. No need to grind on them either. The sealing surface is fine, just some spatter but its not even close to the seal.

 

oh alright cool thanks for all the help guys, today i wound up putting a hole in my valve covers i put gasket sealer in it idk if itll blow out or not but its temporary till i get new ones tomorrow i'll make my order for my intake so i can put on my eddie and idk what else. I need traction bars for the wheel hop but i can live without those for awhile id rather get valve covers to be safe, but on the traction bars what kind should i get? i've got 2 different ones im thinking about but im open to ideas imputs please. ill put the links for the trac bars

I would go with the ones for the camaro. The rubber snubber needs to fall in a certain spot under the spring eye. Have you seen the ones Vall (1971BB427) made
? Slick, really slick. Dead easy to make too.

 

So you think I should go with the x-f body ones instead of the universal ones?. And no I haven't, but right now I dont have alot of fabing material to do em myself, I've got to get my miller ready to use and get everything I need it for done before it goes back to my grand father in november, right now all i need to weld is my exhaust but I've been busy and haven't even got my headers on yet hopefully I'll have some today or tuesday when Im off work for a dentist appointment. But on those fbody ones the look really solid, with that style i just take the u bolts on the rear end loose and put em under the spring right? well basically anyway.
Thanks for all the help and inputs guys.

 

Yeah the rubber on the end needs to be under the front eye.

 

alright i'll shoot for those ones in a couple weeks on a couple more pay checks and once i get some of these other parts out of the way, today i didn't wind up getting anything done so i'll have to wait till i have time tuesday and after work till the weekend

lol yeah normally i dont have time to do anything till saturday cause after work i go to the girl friends house but she's got games and practices all week so i can work after work lol tonight i got the heavy iron headers and old exhaust pipe off gonna clean it up a bit tomorrow then put the headers on or atempt to anyways that stupid ac unit is freaking always in the way!!! i want it gone but for now its gotta stay
