Think im gonna paint the block 2marrow.......Im gonna order a few things for the motor tonite oil pump...gaskets.... Gonna try and get the shortblock together this weekend! Ill post some pics of the block as soon as i get it painted....

 

Just an FYI:
Doug Thorleys has just come out with some ls swap headers for 67-72 trucks, but I'm sure they will fit 73-87.

I saw these in person this past weekend, all I can say is they are sick! I'm getting some.

 

Thanks for the info bro!

 

All I get to do is look at the pictures and I agree with pcmcobra, they are sick! I don't think I've ever seen headers for a truck that actually looked mean. Big thumbs up from me.

 

x2 here man, those headers look awesome. I had no idea anyone had yet to develop a set. Thanks.

 

I did a little digging and there is a part number! So im assuming they are starting to produce them! When they pop up for sale im all over em! It'll be nice to not have to modify anything and just bolt em up!

 

Those headers are pretty sweet!!! If all else fails, just buy a bunch (8-10)of 1 3/4 J-bends ($14.95 each), set of flanges and a set of collectors and drop your truck off at my house for a week and I will build you a set!

What color are you painting the engine?

 

Yes,
they are in production right now. PM me for some "more" info.

 

If i dont get these i may have to get ya to!.........Im gonna paint it semi-gloss black,should look similar to the factory color on the block.

 

I am game, it would be a fun project, just buy the materials... I think a set of 1 3/4 steped to 1 7/8 would be pretty cool!!!
