Lanse, I made both of these sets of headers. 2 1/2 inch zoomies, and 2 inch sprint car headers. Not real hard, but time consuming. Also built the chassis, so the headers were actually easy compared to the chassis.
So yes it can be done. It took me 20 years before my welding and fab skills were what I was happy with.
I would pay the UPS and have George fix it for you. Then practice on other fab projects and as you build your skill, tackle more complex projects each time.
To your question, yes, the faster/easier you get the air out of an engine the more hp you make. But you have to look at the entire system. Just bolting on a header(s) will not make a world of difference. It all works together... higher compression, aggressive cam, more fuel, exhaust, ignition.... all this equals $$$$. Then stronger clutch, new ring/pinion, its goes and goes.
