That Unclelemme fella seems like he’s done this kind of thing once or twice before.

It sounds like you have a fair amount of experience with the header wrap, but I'll tell you my own. Years ago when I first discovered that stuff, i wrapped the headers on my engine to keep the intake cooler (an L4, intake manifold right above the header). Well, it worked very well. The heat was so contained that it actually destroyed the header. When I pulled the wraps off, the metal was flaking off left and right leaving the pipe walls very thin. In fact, I ended up with a hole or two. After that, I made heat diverter plates for those engines instead of wrapping the headers. I planned but never built my own intake with individual runners. Had I done that, I would have wrapped the *intakes* instead of the exhaust.

Hey thanks @nevillenewman2785 for your comment! Funny thing you mentioned that I have a part 2 video I’ve been working on coming out soon. I actually had the set on one of the other trucks I installed rusted out like you said . So called cheap Chinese (stainless steel). Did I learn not to buy cheap ones? No I ordered another pair for around 200 bucks with the wrap. Most people should just keep their manifolds. Not a huge HP increase on them old trucks for the headache, so I’d just recommend not to do headers for most people. Thanks again fir your comment great tip!

Was told about that years ago, but have never used wrap, so never had to worry about it.

Ok I went to my buddies at O’Reillys and they helped me find the T handle. It is actually a 3/8 Drive T handle spline 12 piece socket set.(GM4278) Lifetime Guarantee! I’ve had mine for 2 years and no problems. It was only like 24 bucks!

Yeah just be careful bud! You can always remove the radiator and core support. The grill stuff comes off pretty easily. If you’d prefer the safer way!👍

Are you making a video of putting it back in? Just put a engine for my truck and it cranks but no spark kinda lost I checked everything already!

Yes I’m going to be posting the other videos soon, it’s running and driving now. Check your distributor and coil plug/wires. The crank position sensor could be bad also. Let me know if you check those I’ll try to help you more then if I can.

If you can’t get to the bolts when you raise the engine and transmission to slide it out. Support the transmission. The torque converter should slide out of the transmission then. It’s not preferred to do it that way,but it should come out with the flex plate and engine. Just watch yer flex plate!👍

Hey buddy what size grade 8 bolts did you use in the heads to lift from?

Hey bud that should be a M10-1.5. Front and rear bolts should be the same. I’ve never had one that was different. Good luck with your project 👍
