Looking to buy 2nd Gen 70-81 Fbody LSx Swap Headers.

[ryeguy2006a]

Just like the title says, I am looking for some swap headers for 70-81 Fbody for the LS1 swap in my 1976 Trans Am. If you have something, let me know. I would be interested in a shorty header, mid-length or Long tube design. Let me know if that is something you have.

I would even be interested in a set of stainless steel headers, even if they aren't specifically for the 2nd gen's. I would be willing to bend them as long as they are stainless.

I am looking for something similar to that, but they are for the 67-69 Camaro and 68-74 nova. Will those fit my application? Has anyone tried those headers for Second Gens?

Ryan, I may be pulling shortly some headers our, either Dynatech or Sanderson headers. Kepe in mind the Dyna are a

Check these out as well, I bought a new set and have not tried yet, but from the measurements I took they seem VERY close to dead on (need to check around steering box),

For $200, shorties polished are hard to beat I have them at home and teh quality and finish are excellent, compared to my Dynatech and Sanderson.

Also note, if you do not care for the finish and planning to wrap them or coat, Doug sells their headers which hang higher than Dynatech for about $300 (i.e. check Amazon)

remember guys, you get what you pay for and I know I want my headers to last at least a year of hard driving.

I actually did look at them, but I have gone away from them due to the small primary tubes. I actually would prefer a set of shorty or mid length headers over the Long-tube since my car is lowered 2". If the headers that you had were 1 3/4 or 1 7/8, I would have already bought them. That is a great price for stainless headers. Just in my opinion it wouldn't provide much performance over the stock manifold.

If you decide to make some headers that have larger diameter primary tubes give me a pm, since I am in the market right now.

I think after doing some research, I am going to go with either Headman or BRP Mid length headers. They are the same price as the dynatech's but I have heard too many people having problems with the headers hanging too low.

I just bought some Dirty Dingo adjustable engine mounts, so I need to use them for my header selection.

I have the Stainless Works LS 67-69 headers if you think they will work
