Default S10 Ls1

I'm looking to buy some headers for my rig. I was thinking of going with the JBA GTO LS1 shorty headers to keep it smog legal. The tubes are supposed to be 1 5/8". Anybody have any experience fitting similar headers in an S10? Worse comes to worse I can have a guy in town cut, re-weld flanges, etc to make them fit.

The only headers that will fit a s10 with a ls1 without having to make them are sandersons. They are made for a ls1 s10 conversion.

Going to be hard to get a off the shelf set of headers that fit correctly.... many guys dont have the engines mounted in the exact same place / angle...

New Age Hotrods made mine custom
LS1 flanges are available from any dealer, part number in the GM performance Cat. tube are 1 5/8, collectors are 2.5 inches.

driver side:

pass side:


as you can see the driver side had to go around the steering shaft:

Because in 4 years a LOT of things have changed.

CPW no longer makes headers for example.
