Hooker Super Comp Headers Help!

[fallguy]

Just bought a set in great condition on eBay. Long tube. $99 + $20s/h. They are bare metal so I need to coat.

Question...I have no clue what kinda of a PIA they are going to be to install....any pics to help?

What new brackets will I need?
What will be in the way?

I want to do this right so I would think aftermarket brackets have to exist to help with this right???

I have power steering and AC and factory exhaust. I'll need gaskets and collectors I know. 290hp 350 engine.

TIA

IMO skip getting reducers for the headers, buy yourself soe of the header buddies from summit or lmc has some, they are like a ball end, work with your headers no mods to them, use no gaskets. They are around the same price as flange reducers but use no gasket so one less leak point.

Just look at your truck now, see any brackets bolted to the stock manifolds? Those need modified, removed, replaced or whatever. Usuually you just need a spacer cut or made for the PS pump setup.
