With stock K member, brp hot rodz.

With aftermarket, it seems Dynatech and Kooks are popular. Im planning a swap now, and Im amzed at all the complaints on fitment for Dyna/Kooks. Admittedly, most are old threads and they have supposedly updated designs. Im personally leaning towards BRP. Pics that I found of their design makes it look like they have the most clearance.

***
Full disclaimer, Ive barely started my swap, and have 0 hands on experience yet, just what I have read/ seen in pics.

I have read that guys have luck with the Mac 351 1/3/4 long tubes with modified LS1 flanges from Jegs. This is the route I am going.

If going with the Foxbody headers with LSx flanges, be sure to look at your transmission linkage. should not be an issue with a manual but with my TH350 set up there was no way to get the linkage on the trans. and if I removed the header to set up linkage there was not enough room.
Might can overcome this if paying attention when welding up the flanges.

I have MAC 1 3/4" 302 longtubes that I am going to use for my swap. I have no idea what kind of work I am going to have to do, but I am going to make them work....

I had a set of BBK's 351 swap headers with LS flanges on them but got rid of them because I didn't like the spark plug boot clearance. Probably gonna build my own, may run 2010 camaro manifolds initially.

with the correct part # Dynatech's they will bolt on with no mods.

There is a seperate fox and sn-95 part #.

They fit tight to the bottom of the car all you have to do is trim the collector length and hook up the exhaust.

Interesting! I have the same set on my Mav swap and have no issues with clearance on MSD wires with the adjustable-angle boots. What wires did you have?

I'm trying to do my build without using any custom parts (where possible) so I'm going with the 2010 Camaro manifolds.

Delco straight boot wires. The msd's may have been the answer, didn't explore that option.
