Do a search. Someone recently listed a couple of companies that sell them.

S&P motor mounts. Hotrodlanecc.com is the site to search and contact. Do a search and you will see more pics of my impala, and others who have completed the LS1 conversion.

Those are QTP 1-5/8 w/HVMC ends. These are the best headers, in my opinion, to make proper clearance and minimal modifications needed for placement.

F-Body headers, then? The problem I kept running into with longtubes is that the driver's side headers keep aiming right at the framerail with the collector...

That was one of the study's I completed when I started my search for long tubes. IMO, the only sets of headers that will be somewhat user friendly are the QTP F-Body long tubes w/HVMC, or the Dynatech Header system. The bends on these headers especially on the d/s, is where your hang up may occur, but the QTP's and Dynatech seem to get pass the rougher part of installation. Some of the other impala conversionists have had better luck w/other headers. Continue to search here and on the impalassforum too....LMK if you need any further assistance.

If you're not a member here, then I would join. this is one of the more popular B-body sites and there are quite a few LSx cars on here.
