ok so i know theres alot of forums on here that talk about ls swap headers for our year trucks 73 thur 87 but has anyone had a success with any longtube tube headers on there 4x4 if so what brand and how much did you have to do to make them fit

 

i ment to put 87

 

In for some info as well!

 

Fixed for you!

 

some guy on youtube has a 85 chevy long bed with a 5.3 and he said he used 2010 ss camaro longtube headers but had to cut the collecters and re-weld them to clear the front driveshaft if thats all its not to bad but he didnt say what brand he used theres a video on it look at it its called ls swap in a chevy k10 its a silver and blue longbed chevy

 

I have a 85 c10 that i have put a 5.3l in. I raised the engine up 1 inch higher than normal and i took 98 camaro long tube headers and had them cut and rerouted to miss the frame and crossmember. I also had to grind the a frame on the drivers side top of the bushing to clear them and had to cut 1 inch of the passenger frame from the mount to cross member to clear. Now they make ls headers for the ls swap from lmc truck, but they are costly.

 

I used Schoenfeld ls1 truck headers. Made for swaps.

 

Are you 4x4? Only LT's on there site are for 2WD that I've seen for square body's.

I have a cammed 5.3 to drop in mine and really dont want to use cast manifolds.

 

Just found this...

LQ4 swap into 84K5 - CK5 Forums

p/n 1302LS1 on Schoenfield's site.

I am gonna go this route, hopefully this helps someone else too.

 

He's lifted 8 inches. That's gonna help out with the drive shaft clearance some.
