LS swap long tubes!
LS swap long tubes available again for LS C4 swaps?! Do my eyes deceive me??? This time very affordable from Speed Way motors. I would love to see the Melrose stainless units available again but I will darn sure settle for these. Ya just might see my C5 for sale this spring! https://www.speedwaymotors.com/1984-...rs,371446.html

I will stick with my 1-7/8" modified C5 headers, but this looks very promising. Looking forward to seeing someone try them out.
On another note, it looks like Speedway has an inexpensive TKO trans c-beam adapter out too!

This is very similar to the adapter Holley had out with their kit 15 years ago, but Speedway's has a much thicker bottom/forward flange. The Holley one's were prone to cracking at that bend. I replaced the Holley adapter with a SilverSport one about 5 years ago. The SilverSport one is much nicer and thick through and through, but it was around $350 shipped IIRC, and I don't know if they will sell it separately any more. I had to schmooze them on the phone 5 years ago to get them to send me one, and part of the price was a premium for breaking/busting a full swap kit apart.
