Hedman Hedders - 68026
Headers - 1.75 in Primary - 3 in Collector - Steel - Silver Ceramic - GM LS-Series - GM G-Body 1978-88 - Pair
LS Engine Swap Headers; LS into 78-88 GM A & G-Body Cars; 1-3/4 in. Mid-Length Design; 3 in. Collector- HTC Polished Silver Ceramic-Coated Mild Steel
GM A-Body cars went through a transformation in 1978, and although GM redesignated rear-wheel drive A-Body models as G-Bodies beginning in 1982, the platform remained relatively unchanged until 1988. The 1978-88 A & G-Body segment contains some of the more iconic muscle cars of that era, making them prime candidates for an LS swap.
Hedman Hedders has been building exhaust headers in the USA since 1954, and their extensive experience shows in the construction of these 1-3/4" diameter, mid-length LS swap headers, designed specifically for installing the reliable, late-model powerplant into 1978-87 Caballero, Cutlass, El Camino, Grand Prix, and Regal, or 1978-88 Monte Carlo models.
Built from mild steel material and handcrafted in our Whittier, California manufacturing plant, these headers come complete with gaskets, small head header bolts, and exhaust collector adapter for attaching the headers to a 2-1/2" exhaust system. They have a durable, polished silver ceramic-metallic finish to keep underhood temperatures down, increase exhaust speed to help with scavenging, and look good great at the same time. Also available with Hedman's Black-Maxx satin black ceramic-metallic finish, or uncoated.
As with all Hedman Hedders, these headers are backed by a limited lifetime warranty, and the coating is covered for a full 5 years.
To ensure proper fit, we recommend the use of Trans-Dapt's engine and transmission swap mounts designed for you with these headers.
- Handcrafted, Mild Steel Construction.
- The Mid-Length Tube Header Design Provides Significantly More Low and Mid-range Power than Cast Manifolds, and Provide Better Ground Clearance And Component Compatibility Than Long Tube Headers.
- Ball & Socket Collector Design requires No Gasket, and Allows For More Exhaust System Misalignment than Old School, Gasket-Style Header Collectors
- Includes All The Necessary Mounting Hardware, Gaskets and Reducers (exhaust adapters)
- Limted Lifetime Warranty On Construction, Five Year Warranty on Factory-Applied Header Coating!
- Proud To Say, Made In The USA, Since 1954!
