    5.3L Long Tube Headers

    Any one have any thoughts? Exactly as the title says long tube headers for a 5.3L this is going into an 87 SWB truck so maybe a block hugger would clear the frame? but I am just wanting some input, does this affect the 02 Sensors I men I know the wiring would have to be longer, but does the placement further down stream change anything with 02?

    would a set of 5.3 long tube headers intended for a camaro fit a 5.3 out of a suburban and how close do you think they would ride next to the block, i am putting this 5.3 into an 87 chevy truck and i am wondering about the clearance of the frame

    I think I saw another post about LTs on that series truck on here. They listed the specific ones they bought and how they had to mod them to work.

    Don't trust me 100% on this, but I remember hearing from somewhere that F-body LTs will work on your frame. And yes, all 4.8/5.3/5.7/6.0 motors can run the same LT headers.
