V10 Header install on truck


GT4Point6

Recommended Posts

I installed the headers I got from JBA for my truck, I got them for free from JBA a few months ago and posted the details. Long story short, they needed a test fit vehicle so I let them use my 05 3V. Headers were free if I wanted SS, I opted for the Titanium finish for $100, Ceramic would have been $100 also.

Some recommendations going to JBA that I think need to be added to the directions are:

remove the fender liners

remove the airbox

remove the starter

 

Don't waste your money on stage-8 bolts for the 3V V10, not sure about the older 2V motors but the tabs are no where near long enough to hit anything so they won't stop the bolt from backing out. We relized this after the install and I need to call Stage-8 on Tues for a fix. For now, I left the Stage-8 bolts in by themselves, no washers. The headers came with bolts and lock washers.

 

Here are some random install pics that we shot. Big thanks to Scott for helping me while it was 103 deg, we were in the garage but still very uncomfortable. Took us about 6 hours with lots of breaks do to the heat to keep hydrated.

If nothing else, Im hoping for better milage. We'll see on the trip to the nationals and back. I know the milage I got last year so I'll use that to compare.
