Default Just a heads up for any LS1 guys who are into Mustangs

in case you dont know, im putting an ls1 in my mustang and ive been doing a bit of homework these past few weeks, and I learned that DYNATECH just started making LS1 swap headers for 79 to 04 mustangs. I'm ordering them today I'll let you guys know how the fitment is...

I'd be interested to see pics of them before install. I wonder how much difference header fitment is b/w Fox bodies and classic 'Stangs.

but in a fox you still have to tweek um a little , i spent 350 for the bbk headers and about 50 for the flanges. i easily would have paid 100 more for something already done that fits.

I searched on this site and everyone does the swap on the fox body why not sn95. I recently bought a 97 Cobra after seeing prices 4.6 and I'm strongly considering swapping lsx into that. I haven't been able to find out any info on wiring harness or what I'll need for the guages to work. Can I get some help guys?

Here's what I found at Jegs. Looks promising if I don't go with a Windsor now that my 5.0 is dead.

Looks like that's what I'm going to go with right there. Off with the 6.0L manifolds, on with the LT's.

Those'll never work with an LS motor, they're the old school small-block headers...

Shoot, good catch. Just took a closer look. The ones I found are for older SBCs like the 383 I have sitting here. I was thinking of the LSx series like everyone else. heh, maybe I can use the factory shorties from my G8GT when they're available...

00ls1ws6...
did you ever get these headers installed? I'm curious as to how they fit. I'm looking at by a ceramic coated set and wanna hear some reviews on the headers before I drop 800 bucks on them.
