so will a GM starter will not fit with those headers? or are you trying to sell starters to? i'm very very broke, so if i can get away with out the strater i'll try, i have already tried to get away with out the headers. i had a set of first gen f-birds on it with a little persuading, a little to much IMO, so i now guess i need to buy a set of $500 headers.

by the way nice fourm on your webpage WARPed

You need a mini starter to use the headers.

Hey, its better than not having a set at all.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks and sorry but Goatman is right; you will need a mini starter. I just wanted everyone to know upfront rather that sell a set of headers and THEN find out that you need a starter too.

thanks for all the info. i'm guessing i'm going to save up some cash and buy them both, just sucks when the headers cost more than the car!

hope the old 455 runs like i think is should
