Pacesetter Headers on a 3.4

[95firebird3.4]

how hard are they to install on a 3.4. i read a write up on a 3.8 is it the same?

very similar, you have more room on a 3.4 than a 3800. the hardest part is getting the old exhaust manifolds off

i'm having a friend who's a mechanic put my pacesetters on my 3.4 for only 200 bux, he says it looks tricky, but nothing he hasn't done before.

shouldnt be too hard to do as long as you have the right tools

oh yea, take off your oil pressure sensor before you install the headers, or you will break it off.
this is a easy motor to put headers on (try messin with a 4.6 ford or any small 4x4)
I recommend felpro exhaust gaskets for a 85-88 v6 fiero,as the gasgets that come with the headers will burn up in no time flat,and stock 3.4 gaskets will not work with headers

i got the gaskets for the fiero, they seem to be well made with a fire ring around each port, its sad but the ones made for our cars are not the best ones to use...... also i have the stage 8 locking header bolts so i will not have to worry about leaks or retightening ever. the paper gaskets that come with the pacesetters are pathetic, but i hear that some people have used them and had no problems with them.

i am no mechanic but the driver side looks way easier than the passenger side for installation, there seems to be much more room to work with. I hope the guy i'm payin knows what he's doin and doesn't break anything.
