i am gonna be running an LS3 in my 89 coupe with a motor plate. what is my best fit/ and yet cheapest route on a good set of headers. i am looking at 1 7/8 maybe bigger. it will be a 421 with a healthy kit. thanks guys

Sorry but the cheap and best fit and good set doesnt usually all belong together. Especially when plates and motor swaps are involved. Usually requires a custom set. Healthy kit and 421", I'd probably start with 2".

JC???

The swap is not that hard but not the cheapest. i think it would rock!!!

i think kooks makes a header for you. if not you can use 351w headers and change the flange. Brad has a set of kooks 1 7/8" 351w headers. maybe he would let you use them for mock up.

cool, i have a set of 1 7/8 grotyhanns that cme off of the camaro but not sure if they will work or not being that i won't have motor mounts in the way.

and i know those don't belong in the same sentence, but i am just not looking to spend $1200 on a set. i know i am gonna have to fork out the cash, and where would i begin to look for 2"

yea, he builds custom tube chassis race cars. he is in mendenhall. he has built two sets for my father in law at about $1000 per set. his car won 1st at the race ar extraganza and runs 5.10 in the 1/8th. Will can tell you about it.

anyway Hank would be the best bet and he is in the right price range.
