texas speed 1 7/8 swap headers for 1st gen camaros
Has anyone used their headers with their ls swap"d 1st gen camaros and if so what oil pan and motor mount and motor mount location did you use? Thanks billy

I am using them. Just slid the motor in this weekend. They are very nice for the price for stainless headers. I made my own motor mount adapters just using the stock location style. The only issue so far is that the one tube on the drivers side that runs over top the others contacts the rag joint on the steering. I am planning on switching that to a u-joint style connection. I modified my oil pan to clear the steering linkage. I think that if you were to use dirty dingo sliders you could slam the engine real close to the firewall and clear the rag joint and the steering linkage.

You may get it to work out. It might just clear fine. I attached a picture for reference. My rag joint was not seated down all the way to the power steering box so you may have more clearance than I did.

I will be moving the engine back 7/8" so I don't have to modify my driveshaft. I will let you know what it looks like with the rag joint clearance once I am done.
