I am not doubting ATS's abilities by any means. For some reason I like numbers and after seeing the thread on the LS7 header install, I was curious. I have narrowed my motor choice down to a stroked LS2 or stock LS7 (preferred) depending on availability and will require the sale of my '69 Blazer once finished to finance the powertrain package. I know you guys will be getting a call when I get a few more things ironed out and a little further along.

Will these fit in an A-body, namely a 72?

I'd be up to see if it fits with my engine/tranny combo... 6.0l/4l80e. Its pretty far back in the engine bay. Camaro exhaust manifolds clear, 6.0 ones don't clear. They need to tuck against the engine but then have to go around the tranny.

I'm up for guinea pig status.

Please explain why the manufacturer is a proprietary secret,Tyler. I didn't ask for any specs or dimensions on the pipes,just who made them.

The fabricator requests to be kept private due to the large influx of phone calls. They build headers for select race teams and companies, but generally doesn't do stuff for the open public.
Not a secret, just a source we searched long and hard for, and we want to keep a good relationship with our supplier.
As far as the public is concerned, ATS makes the headers. If you want a set for a particular application, we can have them made. I'm apt to use Shane's 70 Chevelle to make the next set.
