    Headers??

    Hows it going guys?? Im new to this forum and well I saw this section and its exactly what I am doing.. I purchased my youngers brothers 1991 454 SS and am currently putting a lq4 in it. The Lq4 was taken apart and getting was rebuilt and the block painted black. I am doing a 226/230 112lsa cam with milled 317 heads and a 3000 stall, efans and the usual bolt ons. Tranny 4l80. I do have one question, with the headers I was told Schoienfield because regular long tubes wont fit because of the frame? Is this true and if it is, I am not sure which schoenfield headers I need?? Any help would be nice. Thank you

    Before this I had a 2005 full bolt and cammed SSS.

    Nice truck, and welcome!! There's only one header that Schoenfeld makes to fit Chevy Trucks with an LS motor, part # 1302LS1. They fit great on 2WD Chevy trucks 67 and up. There only one "complaint that I have aginst them, and that's the collector area has no flange, isn't expanded for slip joints, etc... What I'm going to do for my swap tomorrow is getting a exhaust expander so I can slip pipe into the header (cheapest best option for me), and clamp it guten tight. Also, I bought the plain plainted headers, b/c I'm modifying my headers and my local coater can ceramic coat the headers cheaper than the extra expense spent at Schoenfeld. If you got any questions about part #'s and such just shoot me a PM, I've saved them all.

    Welcome to the site. The purest's will be hatin on this one but I like what your doing.

    Here is the link to the page for these headers. I bought them from Summit Racing for less than directly from Schoenfeld.

    I guess as demand goes up, so does the price. They are now the same price as getting direct.

    as a fellow ss owner that just got to rip on his for the first time a couple days ago, you'll love the swap. The shoenfields fit like a glove with 1" setback plates. Everything from the bellhousing back stayed right were it was. Super simple swap that's going to put a smile on your face the first time you mash it!

    I've got the 05 or 06 up fans. Don't have them on in that pic, but I put them on before I did the swap. You have to do a fair amount of trimming on them to get them to tuck up to the radiator, but fit good once trimmed. Here is a pic of them when was still big block
