Interchangeable long tube headers?
What small block long tube headers well interchange with the C3? I know that the steering box
is normally a problem but I am and running a rack system now and no longer have that steering
box as an obstacle. Well the first gen Camaros fit in, or will the motor mount horns get into the way.
I ask this question because I am looking to buy LS long tube headers and find that when you look
for vette specific headers, the price is much higher than headers for other LS swap vehicles. So
I am looking to see what others have been able to use in between the frame rails that were meant
for another application. I am thinking that the first gen Camaro LS swap headers would work but
I am not 100% sure.
I would love any info that any one can give, Thanks

Everything for a Vette is more expensive, sorry can't help much but I believe one of the forum Vendors Custom Image might be working on them

Yea, Custom images are trying to get them to production but I believe they are so swamped with
everything else that the LS headers wont be ready for quite a while, I could be wrong though.
I am hoping that someone has ran across this before and knows what could work.

Are those from Custom Image? I would like to pick up a set from them but I don't think they will
have them ready for several months.
Yes it is an LS2 going into the car, and finding LS headers that are just what I'm looking for, is a pain.
I figured I could cross reference a set if I knew what has worked from the past with the original
small block. I am thinking the F body headers would fit with the steering box out of the way.
I would hate to purchase a set only to find they don't fit and have to return them.
