You will need gaskets as well - Sanderson says use high temp silicone which doesn't work - I ended up using Earl's:
Did you use Earl's collector seals also?

I have my exhaust off the car while installing the seats and seat belt mounting, so I'm going to re-do the gaskets. I used Sanderson's recommendation, but after thinking about it - and reading your earlier post - I'm going to use some decent gaskets. I like the look of Earl's header gaskets. I just have to make sure that they have a version for the Vortec heads.
By the way, the ports on my Sanderson headers (made specifically for Vortec heads) measure 1.5W x 1.875H. The ports measure 1.5W x 1.5H. The ports on the headers are a full 3/8" taller than the ports in the head.Last edited by Henry Rifle; 03-16-2007 at 03:28 PM.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
