Thread: Headers

  1. #1

    Headers

    Anyone with a 96 or simillar truck with an LS conversion try LT headers from a camaro?


    I was just wondering. I read where a guy, crammed a 6.0 GM into his 93...brace yourself, F-150, , and suprisingly, he found a combination of engine mounts that literaly made it a bolt in deal but what suprised me, he said he used LT headers intended for a Z28 and said they fit with minimal modification.


    Which got me to wondering if anyone tried these in a 96 or simillar, GM truck.

    IMO I think the problem with Fbody headers in the OBS trucks has to do with the car headers collector sitting higher to clear to low ground clearance.

    And when u put them in the trucks the headers will hit the cab.

    Since all I hear is that they wont work....this is my opinion.

    I hope this helps!!

    On the OBS trucks, the frame in pinched in towards the center of the vehicle and there is just about enough room to pass a 4" round tube through there and thats about all. The height of the upper a-arms hinge point in relation to the exhaust ports is a limiting factor, also.
