We are currently working on getting the 64 - 67 headers to market right now, I would look for them sometime after the first of the year. I'm currently working on the second generation F-body, 1st gen will come right after that. We would consider doing a Third Generation if the response is great enough, I know the 3rd Gen car require quite a bit more cutting to get the engine in cleanly.

curious to see the ground clearance with the x pipe there. I ran my xpipe like that and it was brutal for clearance. ended up getting rid of the x pipe.
Looks sexy though.

Wow, thanks for reminding me........I gotta install the front clip on my '66 and the new Goodmark cowl hood, and put the intake and carb on before I bolt the motor mounts on and build the headers. Damn glad someone is thinking !!! Thanks.

Q: When will the headers be available? Is the collector a standard ball type flange that will be avilable seperately?
A: The headers for the 68 - 72 should be in production right after the first of the year. We are currently working on the 2008 catalog, the plan is to offer the style of collector, gasket, and flange along with the connector pipe and flange that is used on the LS conversion header. It will be offered for 1 3/4" and 1 7/8" primary tube diameters.
Q: Curious to see the ground clearance with the x pipe there. I ran my xpipe like that and it was brutal for clearance. ended up getting rid of the x pipe.
A: We tucked the pipes up tight to the floor and driveshaft as possible. The headpipes have a downstep to get as much ground clearance as possible. My 68 Chevelle has the header back system and is lowered with the Eibach springs that Edelbrock sells, I have not rubbed the collector or x-pipe even once and that was after taking the car on a 1200 mile road trip (speedbumps included).
Q: Do the other accesorys fit(alt/ps) or do you need to go with a complete aftermarket acc. drive system
A: There are quite a few options out there currently, many different customer require different configuration of accessory drives. We did not get deep into who's accessories would work, and the OEM drive set ups there are quite a few configurations. Short answer is we left that more to the customer at this time.
Q: Another question since the engine mounts the motor close to the original location would a Vic Jr Intake line up with the factory cowl hood?
A: Can't say if it will, the location of the carburetor pad compared to the traditional Chevy and the LS series will be the defining factor. I can try to ask the engineers to find out.

93Polo.. if your trying to keep the Cowl Induction hood functional.. I have already worked that out.., check out the thread I had started a few months ago..
https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-swaps/643850-chevelle-cowl-induction.html
work like stock.. except that the stock cam'd LS1 generates too much vacuum.. so.. it has to come under more load for the vacuum to drop a bit for the flapper to open.. but it does.

Any chance these Edlebrock Headers will work with a G-Body? Any plans for G-Body Kit? I just heard that the Hooker A-body LS1 Swap Headers will work on a G-Body if the collectors are angled down slightly to clear the floor pan.

Jerry, we have not talk about a G-body headers, but it would be another to consider if there is enough demand.
ja: It is hard to say we had an issue with getting a straight car for the fitment, we have one now. I would figure sometime in the first quarter of 2008, but that is guess at this time.

For those that asked if a SS Cowl Hood could work with the Edelbrock retro fit header, mounts, and one of the Edelbrock intake carb manifolds. Well the only answer I can give is that the carb is placed in between the center cylinder bores for both the old school Chevy engines and the LS series, so it will work in relation to front to rear and left to right. The height your going to have to work out for yourself, to many variables to give one answer here.
