Long tubes on a Chevelle?
Long tubes on a Chevelle? Well I am looking at a Chevelle conversion. Looks like I'm getting a 71 w/ a 70 front clip. I gotta have LT's and was curious if any chevelle guys here have found some?

pass side wasnt to bad,heated rail and persuaded it in a little. drivers side was the motor mount crossmeber,had to cut a spot from top to bottom and then form a piece to close it back and weld it in. to look at it now most people dont even notice,i have to point it out.

Good news.
I had an idea last night and I am going to try it I think. I believe that if you can buy just the LS1 header flanges, cut the tubes of a set of BBC headers right at the flange then you can weld them onto the LS1. I am going to try it so I will keep you updated

The rest of the exhaust isn't finished up but I approve of the quality of them... Bolted up perfectly. Just used a header bolt kit from Sanderson that my buddy had laying around. Car isn't running right now so I can't comment on that part but I hear lots of good things about the headers...
heres a few pics... Not the best but they will do unless you want better ones?

Sweet! Engine bays in chevelles are massive, it was inevitable that there was a stock header that would fit. '98+ f-body headers just about fit in my car, too. Looking good, matt. One question- what's the square cutout box in your cowl? You putting your PCM there?
