Id love to hear how the fit, maybe some ground clearance pics? Are you using 1" setbacks?

Yes. I'm using Trans Dapt 1" set back plates with Moroso solid SBC mounts.

ARH I guess had to redesign the GBODY LS1 swap headers so I'm still waiting. If and when I get them I'll post up some installed pics. Working on other things on the car so I'm not in a rush to get them.........yet.

Looks like my headers are on the way. I'll try to post up some pics with them off the car and on for anyone who's interested.

As soon as I get the car back on the ground and adjust my ride height I'll post some pics. But overall they clear everything and I'm pleased with them. I'm waiting on parts so it will be next week......hopefully. These headers were the easiest headers I've ever installed.

Default Pics finally.....

Sorry for the delay but I encountered other issues I had to work out. Just so you guys know, I have 3.5" collectors with a three bolt flange and its approx. 3.5" off the ground. If you don't get the flanges you'll have an extra 1/2" of clearance. The primary tubes around the A-arms are 4" off the ground. My fender to ground height is 26 1/2". All in all I'm pleased with these headers. They clear everything very good but I feel they could of been a little closer to the floor and my MSD number 2 and 4 spark plug wires come very close to the tubes. Number 4 actually touches the tube so I had to tie strap it to the dipstick tube.

Thought I'd add that the headers look nothing like the picture on their website. They are not equal length headers.

The headers look great, but look like they hang about as low as my hedman long tubes. I was hoping these headers would be up tighter to the floor.

Yea me too. Looks like there's plenty of room for a tighter fit, but I'm glad I got rid of those slip-on collectors thou.
