well they are for a SBC350, and i keep finding these cheapos on ebay (which is just up my alley). the motor is going into a 85 toyota pickup (the headers are block huggers) and i'm debating on whether or not i want the ceramic or not. once this truck is built i'm going to try to sell it to build something else (kinda the way i am), so it won't be my problem down the road.... which is a shitty attitude i know....
anyway, other then the ceramic looking better over time, i understand there is some benefits as far as keeping heat out of the engine bay. heat is going to be a problem for this little truck, so if the difference is going to be great, then i'll probably get the ceramic.
any thoughts?
here's a link to the cheapo's on ebay.
both come with gaskets, collectors, 3/8 flange, 1,5/8 tubing, and bolts.
with ceramic
