Then I'll swap heads and put on a 4 Weber 48IDA intake for him, and see if we can get all his power back and then some.
I've done bolth 289 and 427 headers for the A/C's along with replacing Spiral baffles in Factory Side pipes .(Even the original headers didnt fit that well and were prone to cracking )
As for Header cost I'd ussually charge about 900-950 for custom fit Stainless .
(Steped ,clocked, and tuned )
550-700 for Steel headers (plus coating) , 1200 for original copys .
