Looking to install headers on my 79 L82 auto trans.  Iam in my sixties and partially disabled so I need

something that fits easy. Don't care if they are shorties,mid long,or long tubes. I do want to use my existing

exhaust,I know that isn't ideal by any means but thestock style was replaced with stainless system was installed two years ago  with Magnaflow mufflers.

Hope there is something that would work.

Thanks

Jimmy

I went with this set up:  http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb.dll?parta~partsort~1~cadefibQ

I have an 81 with a crate motor.  Although you will need something different I posted this to let you know 2 things: 1. that this system bolted right in and before I bought it the folks at Corvette Central were great and answered all my questions, 2. I am also handicapped(OK all you wise asses,I'm talking physical here!), bad back. This system took me a very long time to put in...weeks.  But that was due to only being able to work 15 minutes at a time and I wouldn't work on it unless I was feeling really good.

With no back issues and not having a lift I would say it would've been a 2 hour job max.  That would be with a few breaks in the mix.  Pretty easy.

shorty headers and adapting that to my system. I would like to know what brand

(part number) they use?

PS-Back problems here too also with a half numb right arm and left leg

I have had 5 spinal operations

They are available in 2 or 2.5" collector sizes and 1 5/8" or 1 3/4" primary tube sizes. A little pricey but they made here in the USA, ceramic coated and have a copper coating inside to help reduce the under hood heat. 

those Patriots.

Thanks Guys
