Default best headers for a LS1 into a 1970 Chevelle ??

This is a budget build, not racing it.
Thank you...

Well I would say Edelbrock, but they no longer make them for ls conversions

Are you saying that Vic Edelbrock quit selling a part that is still in demand?

There must be more to that story...

Summit still lists them ?:

I bought them a while ago, but haven't gotten to the point of dropping the motor in yet to tell you how they fit.

They don't hold well in Humid climates, mine are starting to rust already....

And these are the triple stainless whatever crap... I would not buy them again or reccomend them.

Jegs and Summit both still list them.
Well they may still list them BUT they are not in stock! Edelbrock quit making them due to lack of demand. Call them they will tell you the same thing.
