"cheap" headers for LS/Nova
What is cheap? Because you can buy the ebay headers as 67Rally did and later on spent more on new headers because of quality and fitment. Or just save the $$$ and when ready buy the headers that are made to specs and fit with no issues and their quality is superior.
Ebay to the rescue! If you’re willing to put in some elbow grease, there is a very cost effective option. For my ’73 Nova 5.3 swap I used the infamous Ebay 4th-gen SS headers with great success. The build quality and materials were both good and the price was great at $180. I had a buddy bring over his oxy torch and with some heat and long lever arms we were able to re-align the collectors into position. We also removed the AIR and EGR ports and TIG welded them closed. To finish off I used a scotch brite wheel (several actually) to remove the heat discoloring and give the headers a brushed look. 5000 miles later and I am still very happy with them.
Oh, I did have to indent #3 and #5 primaries to make clearance for the steering gear. Unfortunate but neccesary and IMO acceptable at I could not shell out $800 for proper conversion headers.
Check out my build thread for more details and pics.

Headers I put raw steel headers on my ******. Got some Eastwood stainless header paint, cut it with Xylene and sprayed on one THIN coat. They looked good for over 6 years, didn't have brush marks and didn't peel. Trick was to stop with one thin coat.
