Default 240Z/header question

What headers are you guys running in your LS swapped Zcars? I know Broken Kitty/John's Cars sells 1 5/8" block huggers but I do not want to choke the motor.

Build is a L76 with DOD delete, basically a LS2 with LS3 heads and intake with a 230/242 .600 lift and 113 LSA cam.

Thanks
Mike

Might try 417Motorsports. He has a LSX in a 240sx (8.15 1/4), I know its a different chassis but I want to say he had built several pairs of shorties for 240z's. Could be wrong.

Jags that run sells a set of shorty headers with 1 3/4 inch primaries. They work with the broken kitty swap kit. I am using them with my own mounts. They aren't perfect but they aren't bad either. Probably the single most popular swap headers for a zed.

hybridz.org has a long tube header group buy that was built around the broken kitty mounts. They look like nice units.

As you notice ground clearance on these cars is limited and the stock manifolds all pretty much turn out into the frame rails.

I am a member of Hybridz.org, the group buy is for a manual trans only. I am looking at a 4L80E if possible othwise I will stick with my built 700R4/Edge racing converter combo. Thanks for the heads up though.
