I was quoted $275 for him bolt on open headers from what I have now

Tighten inside out, and check and re-tighten after a couple cycles as previously mentioned. Do it right, and you'll get a long leak free life out of'em.

Thanks for the info jbrew. A couple questions.

Would you suggest tying the y pipe hanger in somewhere else since it will all be replaced header back?

And it seems maybe the proper torque procedure and hardware is more important than the gasket? Two LTs I've looked at both provide paper gaskets.

I broke mine off flush with the block trying to bend it out of the way.. then you have to drop the front axle, drop the pan and push it up and out. Big pain. Use a ratchet wrench and good gaskets.

I bought some steel header gaskets from MMR for whatever I end up with. Hopefully longtubes but we'll see.

And you need to go turbo.
We have a 4v, twin turbo build/compound boost, e85 something, L-swap, and 6.0 pstroke build.
You need a 2v with a big single turbo.
Someone needs to do this
