I was wondering what are some good headers for a 289 2V C-Code all stock still? I was looking to somethings and I found hooker is a well known brand but I want to know are they the best. Also if I put in a new driveline what will that do for my car? Will it help in performance and things like that or no. Also I wanted to know what is a good fan for my radiator or should I just stick with my stock one? Well thanks for the help yall

Hookers Super Comps are the best, regular Hookers are about the same as all others. As long as they are full lengths, they are about equal. Get them ceramic coated, otherwise they wont last more than a year or two. Don't bother with shorty headers.

By 'new driveline' do you mean an aluminum driveshaft? They are lighter, less prone to vibration, and they free up a tiny bit of horsepower but at the expense of strength. It would be one of the last mods I'd do on a car.

Stock fans are fine for stock engines.

If you can afford them, Hooker SUper Comps from Jet Hot can't be beat for a street car.

ok that sounds good. also I was talking about getting a aluminum one. ok funny story here. The other day I went over to my g/f to hang out with her and to eat dinner over there. ((her mom has the best cooking ever)) Well I told her I had to get a hooker and she gave me this weird look. It was so freaking funny. Since she didn't know what I was talking about she got pretty pissed at me. Then before she threw me out I told her what I ment so I could still eat dinner over there. Was wondering has anyone else ever done that?

Oh yeah I know im sad lol

They've had those stickers forever. You should be able to get them from Hooker or I'm sure Osborn Reproductions {link is at the top of this page} would have them.
