Headers for SBC swap? I am currently in the process of putting a traditional SBC into my 95 Z28. I have installed the BMR K-member and am now needing headers. So for those of you who have done the swap what headers are you running? Hooker? Pacesetter? Thanks in advance.

Get the Hooker or Hedmans. They are your best bet.

You can run any regular LT1 header as long as the heads are still stock 23* heads. I would have to say kooks or something of that nature. Your going to spend more but they look a hell of a lot better and will last longer than anything else out there

The lemon's headers would be nice, but no way I can afford them. Right now I'm looking towards the hookers because I'm running Dart Pro 1's with angle plugs and Hooker's website claims to work with the angle plug heads.
Madman, What part number for the Hedman's? I hadn't thought of them as an option. Will they fit the stock steering rack? Angle plug heads?
Thanks for the replies.

I have a set of Hedman Hustler series headers for this setup and I'm very impressed with them. The primary tubes are 1 7/8 were as the Hooker's are 1 3/4. I'm running a 434 with some heavily worked Canfield heads and needed the best flowing heads I could find. Although you will have to use the supplied flange adapter cus the headers use the Stahl bolt pattern. Oh yea, I have some hooker competion headers on one of my vettes and these are much better IMO. In case you need, I bought mine from Jet Hot. I believe I paid just over $700 for them with the sterling finish. I promise you won't be dissapointed with these.
