Are the exhaust headers for a 401 nailhead the same as a 322? I am trying to clean up and paint the engine on my 56 Buick special with a 322 but those darn bolts are welded on due to heat/age. One of them already broke off while trying to loosen it. I don't want to continue and break more off just to get a good detailed paint job on it. Plus the aftermarket headers don't seem to be there for these engines. Maybe I am just not looking in the right places I was also going to pull the engine/tranny together to treat and paint the frame as well, any tips before pulling this bad boy?
Thanks for the link bobcrman, but those will not fit any stock applications. I actually came across that side during my search. I will try to email him to see if he has something that will bolt on to the stock exhaust muffler pipes.
