We have already installed a few sets of the C3 LS headers.

Some people are using "homemade" or oddball motor mounts.

These are already fit and proven.

LS3

I have a thread going on here that has not been updated in a few months due to slow progress but I have the car scheduled to start the motor swap in 4 weeks so hopefully thing will begin moving forward quickly and I can post up more photos.

Thanks Steve, it was good talking to you about the headers and I look forward to seeing these on the car!
Eric, Thanks for the order

Moving out quite a few C3 LS swap headers, we also have SBC headers.

Please note:

These headers are already PROVEN to fit with the noted combinations in the first thread.

A few of you have pointed out that this thread may make the headers in "development mode", this is NOT the case.

Thanks very much.

I'm waiting for pictures of installations. Motor mount placement is obviously key to how these fit. Anyone have pictures of these headers installed and what are you using for mounts and locations of the motor.

No need to wait.

I've compiled a list in the first post of combos.

Dirty Dingo Sliders are the 'default mount'.

Steve, if you get me my Headers by Saturday, I'll have pics up by Monday!

Otherwise, it will be two weeks before I get back to work on the car.

Chris, they are doing another run of bends today for the C3 swap headers.

We just rec'd another 20,000 lbs of 304 Stainless Steel, January was a record month overall despite the brutal storms here in the Northeast.

Bottom Line, These should be down in TEXAS by next week.

Sidepipes, yes.

Only in-house here in NEW YORK at this time for complete sidepipes.

We can supply the bends to allow our swap headers to work with existing sidepipes.

Thank You
