I took alot of work reshaping the header tubes on the exhaust port to fit the ls1 flanges. stock 302 exhaust ports are tall and skinny which ls1's are opposite, wide and short. I had to extend 1 tube on the drivers side for my steering shaft which wasn't bad, but my pass side, different story. 1 tube hit the k-member and another tube hit the starter. Had to reposition and extend both tubes. All in all, wasn't REALY hard, just time consuming.
wow, i'm a little surprised you used such a small primary size since you were starting from scratch with a new header anyway. no doubt you'd make more power with a larger primary size, but at least your's is running.

I figure I could sell the ones I have now for what I paid for them ($130 or so) and turn around and invest it on a new setup.
