Header Inquiry: Will Headers for 6.2 fit the 5.3?
This might be a stupid question, but I'm wondering if the exhaust manifolds from a Chevy 6.2 (say, from a 2010 Camaro or 2009 Pontiac G8) fit a 2008 5.3L LMG from a Tahoe. I've read that a lot of K5 Blazer swaps use these headers for frame clearance, but a lot of these trucks have the 6.0L.
So... would they work with a 5.3L?
Thanks!
Here is what I ended up with: I think this will work
After creeping through Craigslist auto parts adds in nearly every major city (by the way, Las Vegas appears to be a pro "LS city" - lots of parts there) I found a pair of JBA shorty intake manifolds in Denver that are ceramic coated and came off a 2010 Camaro. From the pictures, they look nearly brand new, and the same model is selling at Summit Racing for just a little under $700.00 (got em for $250 + $48 for shipping). Hopefully nothing is seriously wrong with them. It can really pays off to slow down and do a lot of searching for used parts.
I'll get pictures of the headers attached to my motor after I receive them next week, and also after I drop the engine in to show the clearance. The stock 5.3 truck exhaust manifolds just wouldn't clear the frame.
