With a SBC or inline 6, yes the heater cord in/out let can be a probelm!

To fix that, I plan to convert to a BBC Heater core and box cover. Which has the the core port near the middle of the box cover and far from the engine.

Yeah. Ive used modified "other car" headers for two ls swaps. It can save you a lot of money for one thing. I have good luck with headers made to fit 4th gen f-bodies.

Stay away from Stainless Works they may not fit. I used Kooks TBSS headers they fit with no issues.

im running 4th gen pacesetters and p/s had to dent 1 pipe on the drivers side. and the collectors are pointed to the inside of the subframe should still be able to have a exhaust shop make a pipe to get it back straight ou u could bend the pipes.

Has anyone successfully put 4th gen f-body headers into a 68-72 A-body? If so I'd be very interested to hear what was done
