Default LS motor into a 3rd gen Nova question
Will the headers from a 1st gen Camaro work on a 68-74 Nova? If you have a LS motor in your 3rd gen, what mounts and headers did you use?
Thanks!

You can't use regular small block Chevy manifolds or headers with an LS1. LS1's don't have siamesed exhaust ports.

^Dont think thats what he meant. He's asking if LSX swap headers for a 1st gen camaro will work for his application, a 3rd gen nova.

They should work considering they share the front clips. I am pretty sure they also share steering shafts which is the main issue.

That makes more sense. I should have known that's what he meant!

Yeah it depends how much reading he's done on the LSx engines. Its possible he did'nt know that so its good to post anyway.
