Hey all, it's end of summer, and I'm thinking as I'm about to put my shiny red convertible away for the winter that it's time to make the 350 4Barrell engine run a little smoother and give it an overhaul. i'm no mechanic, and I'm looking for headers for this 350 Chevy motor that has run beautifully now for 2 years.......but it's time for an upgrade.
I'm having trouble sourcing headers for this dual exhaust engine.
ray...thanks.....I did finally find headers for the 70 parisienne, but it'll take a bit of modifying exhaust pipes...nothing is easy with these restorations/fixes. Next challenge, I'd apprecaite your advice on. at some point the original transmission in the car was swapped out from a 3 speed to a 2 speed. I located a 3 speed powerglide, but now i've got the wrong linkage setup. any reccomendations on where to source?

I'm finding this a bit confusing. When you say it was swapped out from a 3 speed to a 2 speed, which type of 3 speed did it have originally? Was it a 3 speed standard, or 3 speed automatic? And if automatic, was it a turbo 350 or a turbo 400? You also said you've located a 3 speed powerglide - I've never heard of that.
ray, sorry for confusion......original engine had the 350 v8 engine with a 3 speed TH automatic transmission. At some point during the vehicle's life, the transmission was replaced with a 2speed. i've had the car for about 2 years and doing various restoration activities and before i store it away, have found a 3 speed automatic transmission to go with the rebuilt 350 GM engine. the problem i have is the linkage for the 2 speed won't work with the rebuilt 3 speed i've found. and what i'm trying to source is the linkage for the automatic 3 speed transmission........appreciate your patience.....I will get thsi pontiac back into original mint condition......Kerry
