Default custom headers?

i'm gonna be pushin a helluva lotta power through a set of TEA stg 2's and a TR224...through some stock manifolds if i cant find some LT's or mid-lengths at the least, i wanna go ahead and get some headers before i do a heads/cam swap.

this is for a 98 Silverado in the stock location as far as routing goes for exhaust....i emailed Kooks and ASM about this but thought id post in case someones ran into this somewhere before

anybody know of any tricks? ive wondered if some 99+ ASM's would work for me...is the only difference the port shape between the 98 vortecs and the 99+ ls1 derived motors?


thanks
Brandon

I believe the frame and motor positioning would differ a little, I'm not sure exactly what would work, i would go to LS1Truck.com, quite a few people over there with conversion trucks, maybe they would know.
