Ultimate Headers can probably make you up some AND they will fit your chassis. That is the route that I was going to go until I bought my crate LS7 that came with 2014- up Z28 Tri-Y hydroformed stainless shorty headers. They appear to be 1 3/4". I removed the shield mounts and smooth them out a little and then had them ceramic-coated and they look great.
That might be something for you to consider as well.

I keep thinking the headers have to fit a C1 when in reality they have to fit a C4. Thanks for the responses and pics Wolfman. I should have tons of clearance.
Joe how's everything going in NJ? You keeping your head down?

Here are the LS7 Z28 Tri-Y OEM shorties. The primaries are 1 3/4". I haven't hooked up an exhaust system yet but I had this engine and end these headers in the car and there is plenty of room to make a gradual turn toward the back with ground clearance in the Corvette Correction chassis.

I've seen yours and they are a work of art as usual. I really don't want to spend a few or 2 working on something I can buy cost vs work.
Charles do I remember reading in your build that you passivated some stainless. I want to do mine after polishing.

Just passing though...

You may need different spark plug wires. I used Taylor Ceramic boot ones just to be on the safe side since they are real close to the header.

I found the thread after I posted so I deleted my question. I'm going to need different wires for sure I'm going to relocate the coils. For the price of these I just can't see building my own. Thanks
