Thanks All.
If it sounds like I am trying to go cheap, I am.
I'm dropping a 5.3 into my El so I can have it be a good reliable driver until my other project is done.
When the other project is done, the El will get a frame off and it will get custom stainless headers then.
This will probably be 5 to 10 years from now.

Then the cheapest way would be to buy the stainless units now. 1) $ today worth more than $ 5-10 years from now; 2) you don't have to buy a second set at all because the stainless units will last, well, forever.
Someone a bunch of posts and 6 years ago suggested making a sticky of this thread.
I second that motion! The first few posts at the very least.
Those pics of exhaust manifolds are great reference!

Cost for the headers later is no worry.
I run a stainless fab shop and the owners give me any materials I need for the best possible price, no charge.
So, it does make it feasible now to run with simple manifolds as when the spring arrives I want to toss this motor in as fast as possible.
Ha, I know, LS swaps don't go quick, but I'm trying to prepare everything now.
Making a nice set of headers takes a real long time. These are for my BBC going in the hot rod.

Better believe it! Many either can't use or don't care to use headers, and it would be nice to have a visual reference to manifolds, as there are/were so many that can fit so many applications. STICKY TIME! lol
Very nice work on those headers! They are really slick. Just run what ever manifold fits for now, quickest, easiest way for you get on the road. I also vote for making this a sticky.
