Default Chevelle LS1 swap headers in a G-body?

Has anybody tried these in a G-body yet? I wanted to if there's other options besides the F-body, S&P and Schoenfeld headers.

Thanks

I've been wondering the same thing for my Elco. I really want to put long tubes in my Elco but i'm having a hard time finding some that will fit our body style.

Not really...A member on this site sent me a few pics of them on his regal. He said they fit fine but the tubes interfere with the coil wires pretty bad. And after looking at the pics, I didn't like the way it looked.

John, I think you need to start making headers for this swap too! LOL

Brian, do like I did and move the coil packs to the fender wells. By the way, I tried to start my car this afternoon and my damn starter has gone bad.

Sorry to hear that Larry! I had that same problem when I put my old motor back together.

When you get it running send me some pics, I want to see how it looks.

Schonefelds does offer ceramic coating. They told me after I build mine from parts I bought from them in FT. Smith Arkansas for my S10 Blazer to bring them back to coat. They outsource the coating to another company though. Seem to remember about $200 to coat.

I didn't use Schoenfeld headers. I used a set of Patriot Clipsters, for a BBC, and reworked the tubes.
