73-87 C10 ls1 swap guys, what headers have you tried that did or DID NOT fit?

I am still searching for headers for my swap and I am not satisfied

So far i have been told that Pacesetter F body headers will fit with a little work. That is good and i may try them but there are many othe headers out there that i wonder about.

so if you have tried ANY headers that fit or did not fit please let me know. Once the list is made it will be great for future swaps.


I will update the list as i get the info.


Will fit:
1.
2.


Will fit with work"
1. F body pacesetter headers



DID NOT fit.
1. Doug thorely headers for the 67-72 c10




If you have tried any of these please let me know.
1. GTO headers
2. 99-06 silverado truck headers
3. 07-10 truck headers
4. hooker 67-69 camaro swap headers (i have a set of these and they look like they may fit.
5.mid length F body headers
6.??

post some pics of your truck man. The fbody headers may hang down to low depending on the ride height of the truck.

f-body race headers work for me

Did I see that LSxTreme on here makes them?

I have used F-body Pacesetters with zero issues.

very nice!! do you have any pics of the drivers side from the bottom? i would like to see how the kick out on the collector looks.

sorry, I dont. Truck is long since sold and taken overseas.

if anyone has the f body headers can you post a pic of the bottom i want to see the angle of the collectors.

We have resolved the issues with the driver side collector pointing at the frame. Our headers also come with no emissions. Stay tuned as soon we should be sponsoring Ls1truck.com.

Thanks, Justin

has anyone got or seen any prices or pictures from the lsXtreme guys yet???

:hyper2:

no i too am waiting, and waiting, and still waiting.

Yea i shot the guy a message havent heard anything back but when i do i will let yall know!!

got any pics of your swap?

i also sent him a PM. no response.

I tried some Dyna tech mustang / lsx swap headers and they did not fit.

right now i have some hooker swap headers for a 69 camaro that i am trying. they are real close and may work with some grinding on the clam shell.

still looking for headers. i want longtubes but i dont want to cut the frame. anyone?

i finally got a few hours to work on the old truck yesterday.

i got the hooker 69 camaro LS1 swap headers to work. so now i have a nice set of performace headers on the truck. the drivers side fit very nice with minor grinding on the engine side of the clam shell mount. the passender side was hitting the frame stand. i had to trim it a good bit and make about a 1/4" notch in the frame to clear the header tube. all in all they fit pretty well and will clear the transmission cross member.

you might could move the passenger side frame stand forward a little and be in better shape.

i also got my new (to me) SWB bed. today i plan to remove the LWB bed and do some measuring for a frame cut. i hope to have a SWB truck by tomorrow!!!

sorry no pics, the camera died i need more $$$ to spend on that

I know Street & Performance sell their own in house made headers and also BRP Adapters sells the Hedman headers for the 73-87 trucks w/LS if you want to spend the $500 for them

thats in mena, AR right ???

Yes, Mark Campbell. They have great quality products but are a little high. IMO

i guess im gonna hve to go and check them out too.

for everyone running the pacesetter camaro headers what are you doing for shift linkage? i am running the pacesetters and the linkage hits the collector. i'm going to make it work eventually just wondering what you all have done.

hey guys i have a set of lsxtream headers i have a set of the original ones infact i was the first on this site to post about them. they are very good looking headers. my driver side did come close to the frame but like he said they resolved that issue. the only problem you may have is the driver side primary hitting the lower control arm now remember alot of that has to do with what motor mounts u used i made my own and ended up just scooting my engine back a couple inches and cleared up the issues. some conversion mounts make the engine set higher and don't have the problem, I think he is selling them for about 300.00 buck for the trucks. ps my truck is a 67 but im pretty sure its the same frame all the way up to 87

Where did you buy the headers from, and what are the pipe & collector sizes? I'm swapping a 6.0 in my '68 C10 with Early Classic LSx engine swap mounts, and am needing info on headers that will fit. I'm not opposed to doing a slight ding to clear the grease zert on the lower control arm shaft, but I've seen some pretty big hack jobs on frame rails and or on the primary pipes to get things to clear.

Any info on the headers you bought, and where you bought them from would be appreciated. Pics would be nice too ;)

P.S. 73-87 frames are WAY different from 67-72 frames though, that much I do know.

Thanks

Hey when did you get a hold of the lsxtreme guys cause i have tryed and have got nothing back... Im not bashing on them i just want some good headers for a reasonable price
