Will these headers fit my engine bay without modification?

Long tube headers can be tight in stock engine bays depending on your specific year and ancillary components. Test-fit before committing to permanent fastening, and be prepared for potential clearance work on items like power steering hoses or brake lines.

Do I need to paint these or can I run them raw?

Stainless steel can be left unpainted and will develop a natural patina over time. If you prefer a finished look, you can apply high-temp paint or ceramic coating—just handle them with care before install to avoid fingerprint marks.

What gaskets and fasteners do I need for installation?

You'll need header gaskets and mounting hardware that match your engine's factory bolt pattern. The headers ship as a bare assembly, so source gaskets and fasteners separately based on your specific Small Block variant.
