I didn't see any pictures of the motor in the frame in your collection to see what the clearnces are, but if your interested in using manifolds, the 2010 Camaro manifolds fit pretty close to the block and the flow decently

I'd look at www.sandersonheaders.com but I haven't used any of their LSx stuff. Great quality on gen1 sbc headers, though, and tight fitting.

I went with the Hooker Super Comp block hugger. They fit tight.

I used the Sanderson CSLS1 swap shorties for my swap, I like them very much and they have done great.

If there is not a solution that fits your needs already available then you could use these guys..

Not cheap when you consider the cost of off the shelf headers but when you start to investigate what it costs to have custom headers made in just mild steel you will agree that this is a good deal for a custom stainless header..

I used them because I wanted a stainless header that would work with my column shift SS but also had other provisions that I wanted.. Plug clearance..Bolt on collectors, Ease of install/removal...O2bungs

Again..not anywhere near as cheap as an off the shelf solution but If you come up empty they are awesome people to work with and they nailed my design the first time..

Pugz, I used the Sanderson block hugger headers for my swap because they tucked in the tightest according to all the specs I found. Here is a post with pics of my Sandersons. Hope this helps.

DO ALL LS1-6 HEADERS FIT ALL LS MOTORS? FOR INSTANCE, WOULD SOME SHORTYS FROM A 6.2l NEW CAMARO BOLT UP RIGHT TO MY 5.3?

Your Welcome!



Thanks! They send you the correct flanges, a set of collectors and elbows.. Then you buy the PVC pipe to cut. It was a lot of work but well worth it..
