elcamino

Has anybody heard of headers that will work on ls1 (98 trans am) into G body (86 el camino). Live in Ca and gonna have to see emission referee already (taking a fifth of Jack for bribe). Think we'll call this one a tramino.

I used street&performance on my 79 elcamino. Shorty header but took very little work to make them fit.

Looked at them but they don't have a carb number for them so won't work in ca. unfortunately

Sorry but you won't find conversion headers for this swap with a CARB number anywhere. It would be way to expensive to certify for any manufacturer.

John, I know you are right about a specific header for ls1 to camino. What I am looking for is whether there the f body headers will drop in. Talked to summitt, their theory is order a set don't scratch them if they fit bolt them up, if not rebox and send back. See some guys using lt headers, will they fit on ls1 exhaust ports?

Elcamino, I have a 86MonteSS w/ Hooker LT's. They are street legal in All 50 states, because they have the emmisions piping to hook up. On drivers side fit perfectly, on pass side #4 or second back tube hits frame, I dented tube slightly and fits fine, sounds awsome

You didn't state whether you we're using A4 or M6? Might make a difference not sure, I have A4.

Do the ports on lt headers match ports on ls1 head? Am using l460e. Travel bout 20 days a month for job, getting home Sat., finally get back on it. Were the headers you put on designed for the monte or were they for the f body. Got a welding budy coming over to notch crossmember, finish cleaning, painting and drop ls in.

My headers were for a 98-99 F-Body, not sure about LT1's.
But don't think they match or everyone else would be doing it.

elcamino: I think you are confusing the "LT" which means Long Tube headers, with the old LT1 engine. LT1 headers would not match up at all on LS1 heads.

John,
You are right. Still getting up to speed on acronyms. Thanks for the info. Was going to order headers last night and see that there is 3 different ones for camaros. 98-99, 2000, 2001-2002. Do you have any idea what would be the difference between them?

They put the emissions piping in different spots, and on the 00-01 I think they removed the EGR completely.

I take it you are swapping a LS1 into a 1986 Elcamino. I have an 1986 Elcamino and I want to install a LS1 also. Can you give me some information on how your swap went and how you solved your problems? Also any parts like motor mounts oil pan A/C relocation and such.

01 & 02 no EGR but still had AIR fittings.
