After I sent my original message, I looked through my "car stuff" and found
the flyer they gave us from the tour last year.
Mind you, this was from the summer of '97, the "published" cost for block
hugger headers (which they only have two categories, full length and block
hugger) is $105.00, inside & out. You can also get your cast manifolds done
for the same price.
If anyone would like to check this out, the phone number to Airborn Coatings
in OKC is (405) 685-4433.

>>Just got off the phone with Jeff again at JBA .
>>
>>1) What's the deal with needing heat shields and increased engine temps ?
>>
>>A: Jeff said that although they have no heat shields , that they should
>>actually reduce temps very slightly , and that unless you are doing rock
>>climbing in the New Mexico dessert , that you shouldn't have to worry
about
>>melting anything including plug wires . He said that if you opt for the
>>coated headers , that the temps would be greatly reduced and therefor the
>>chances of melting anything are next to nothing .
>>
>>2) What kind of Hardware ?
>>
>>A: Although the header bolts are NOT stainless , they are a black coated
>>bolt that is rated as a grade #5 bolt . They also include split-locking
>>washers to make sure that they don't back out . Even though the washers
>>aren't supposed to back out , he suggested that they be checked shortly
>>after runing them for a bit .
>>
>>The gaskets are called "graphite/wire" gaskets and they get them from
>>Mr.Gasket . Jeff said that since they switched to these type gaskets a
>>while back , that they have had very few calls about the gaskets blowing
>>out .
>>
>>3) What is the turn around on coating the headers ?
>>
>>A: The headers are shipped from JBA to a small company in Oklahoma City to
>>be coated . The turn around on these should be about ten days . If you are
>>ordering the coating when ou order the headers , they will ship the
headers
>>to be coated , and then the coaters will ship htem to you . The warranty
on
>>the coating is LIFETIME with no pro-rating . So this will cover you a bit
>>as well .
>>
>>4) Who shot Kennedy ?
>>
>>A: the little Leprachaun that follows me to work .
>>
>>hope this helps
