wow dude that is a beautiful truck i frigen hate stupid people who ruin it for everyone else... Drunks suck. An ls1 would be amazing in that thing all show and go haha keep us posted!

see if you can get some 241 heads instead of the '98 heads. They flow better and should only be $200 or so. You will need valve covers and coil brackets too though. Truck looks great.

If you are going through the block, then it will be fine for what you are doing.
For extreme applications, there are better, but yours will do fine.
Oh, with a good cam, tune, and exhaust, you can easily reach high 300's to the wheels.
Are you wanting a smooth idle, lope, or really aggressive?

What A Clean Truck Bro!

As far as stock manifolds go...yes they are pretty good.I think the stockers flow as good as shorty headers do.

i dont own the 98 ls1 yet, but close.. thats why i ask about finding a newer one. as for idle, a little lope is good. from my research so far i need to figure out an a/c setup, and headers yet. harness will be a nelson custom. i am limited with headers with the body drop, everything gets tighter. the body is coming down 2.5" so even l31 longtubes wont work (i know ls1 and l31s are different). Are those stock manifolds that bad? they look way better than any stock l31 manifold..

with that body style you are limited on headers as it is
i have a 98 im dropn a 6.0 in and the only headers known to fit are shortys. we have a member who is making a set of long tubes but with your drop i dont think they would fit. as far as a/c you need a relocating kit and Sanden 508 compressor. gl fitting that in your small motor bay with the drop :lol: i dont know if u can get it to fit :ma:
welcome to the site.. did you get money from the wreck? i consider that totaled because the paint job :speechless:
