bbk long tube header question Iam on a roll with the car and the headers are next, I think i will buy a set of bbk long tubes and weld teh ls1 flange on. My question is what long tubes do i need for the less work. Will the 302 mustang bbk headers work or will it need to be 351 swap mustang headers

351 swap headers (302 headers will hit the floor) replace flanges and tweak the number 5 an 7 tubes to clear the steering shaft, if your using a aje k-member dont waste your money on a longer steering shaft like all the fools just lengthen it and it fits fine (cost about one doller).
and if your running a auto you will have to ding the collector to clear the shift linkage on the side of the trans an thats it.

i just made my own pipes to mate up with the collector. i just belled them out (a friend has a bender machine).
and the part about the flanges being round..... you can cut the headers where they are round an that works ok, i did round mine out (gas pipe flattened worked great, and thanks s10xgn for that tip). by rounding them out you just gain about 3/4 more primary pipe to play with.
but now that someone makes a cheap swap header for this i would have gone that route. for an extra hundred and they drop right in you really cant beat that. the only way i would do the bbk's again is if i got a set for next to nothing like fifty bucks or so. just my .02 cents.
