LS_Sonoma Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Finding quality LS1 s10 swap headers is a pain. I was thinking of buying some proven Gen 1 Chevy headers (long tube) cutting off the flanges and welding on some LS1 flanges. Any thoughts?

Guest Removed Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I wish I had TIG skillz. i have seen a ton of header kits done with a mig, and turned out fine. or tack them together, and drop them off to tinman or tank to finish off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts? reshaping SBC headers would be a lot of work, LS1s have 4 evenly spaced round ports, older SBCs have unevenly spaced rectangle ports. Might as well start from scratch, or just start with some crappy LS1 headers and work on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll buy someones long tubes make my cuts, tack and have someone finish them up. Then get them coated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC/SBF headers would be a closer fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hop on LS1Tech, search for swapped LSx S trucks and PM the owners. They should be a ton of help. EDIT - what year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
