weld up header kits
What kind of car? If it's a GM and you're trying to put in an LS1 try http://www.schoenfeldheaders.com/index.htm and use the Ford 351 headers for a GM chassis and weld the tubes to an LS1 header flange.
I'm in the process of doing a kit for the 62-67 chevy2s. We will be offering headers, mounts and oilpans to clear the factory steering. I'm about 2 weeks out on the final prototypes.

Here's a Car Craft tech article using a Headers by Ed kit.

the current "in" thing to do as far as ive read, is to get headers ment for your chassis, then tweek the ends to meet the LS1 flanges.

If you have the stock suspension and firewall in tact, it will be difficult if not impossible to do LT's. I couldn't get a 3" pipe in between the tranny/motor and frame-rail(on the passenger side), let alone 4 1.75" tubes together - which is why my headers have a 2.5" collector.

page 11 - all stainless elbows, reducers, . they are in "pipe" size but 1 1/2 pipe is 1 7/8 o.d.
they are way cheaper than tube elbows (they also have them). schedule 10 is the thinner, but its still about .109 thick. $4.96 for a stainless elbow is pretty cheap. Also being a little thicker its not as prone to cracking from heat and stress.

You can get 3" collectors and tubing under the car. The longtubes are a pain but they fit with the stock frame. I will have some progress pics up soon.

Oldnovaguy - This particular customer had some off-brand mounts that we ended up using. I had trouble with the S&P mounts - not wanting to work - on this car... However - after I first built the headers, I later tweaked them to work around S&P mounts as well. Knowing most people are going to use them, or that style mount. That was on an engine stand though.. I'm pretty sure that the mounts I used place the motor very close if not in the exact spot the S&P ones would have.
Someone will just have to try them.
I would take them back if they didn't work of course. Thread Starter

I would like to try someone's headers. I have a 66' with a wayne due front clip, LS1 and six speed, with BRP engine and trans mount. I have the engine and trans in the car, I'm working on my trans hump now. But I would like to get the exhaust squared away next. Let me know what you guys can do. Thanks Justin
