A few months back I stumbled upon a set of FOCOA headers, and bought them off of a guy that didn't know what he had.

I have sandblasted them, and have painted them with a 1500*F ceramic high heat paint that gets baked on after application.

The x-over is not available, as it was in too poor of shape to restore (car was sitting for a long time , x-over was badly rusted)

I'm told the x-over never fit that well anyways. The x-over flanges are available, and will be included to allow a new x-over to be built.

Could use some money right now, so I'm just putting this out there to see if anyones serious about a set. If not I'll keep them for my 88.

ASKING $300 USD SHIPPED

I am shipping from Canada ($), so please keep that in mind.

Thanks.

Me too. Too bad I'm doing the Miller-Woods turbo. Best I can use are the Fiero Store Sprints. Luck to you selling! You might consider e-bay though if nobody here bites- I bet you'd get a good price!

Why can't you use these headers to do a turbo setup?

If the 3.4L P/R engine is in a Fiero these headers will fit but a custom crossover pipe will need to be fabricated. Way back FOCOA had a quality design.. They didn't make them but the local shop that did came up with a very good fitting and efficient design.

Also included with the headers is the remainder of the x-over. X-over was badly rusted due to moisture trapped by header wrap.

The good reuseable stuff (flanges, collector, O2 bung, EGR adapter)

The piece that needs to be remade (section of bent pipe between the collector and the rear bank)

I'd have to have a crossover that matches up to the headers- the Miller Woods kit I have already has the turbo crossover and is intended to work with stock manifolds- though I plan to run Fiero Store Sprint Manifolds hopefully.

For the price of these you can afford to have some one modify your x-over and then you'll have long tube headers.

At the very minimum you will have to weld the FOCOA style flanges onto the 88 x-over

If they will fit with a manual tranny, and you can give a good shipping price to HI, consider them sold
