6.0L swap headers questions???

Anyone know what are some good headers to use on a 5.3 or 6.0 swap into a 85 2wd? I've seen the s&p headers, but was wondering if anyone knew of any others that might be out there... Thanks

I have the s&p, wok great. I have seen several guys use the pacesetter fbody long tubes. They can be made to work...
I do know fbody 98-02 manifolds will work, even "heard" ssr manifolds will work.

Thanks. I'm looking for a header made specifically for that application so there is no hacking on the truck. Is there any others besides the S&P's like that? Anyone hear if the Thorley Tri-y headers ever came out?

Are you wanting Long Tubes? If so, right now no one has them, but BRPHotrods are getting some made. I have their mid lengths on mine now, but they have the same issue with clearing the 4L80E "ears". They are going to be made by Headman Hussler.

What about a mid length or shorty? Who currently makes them. I know a lot of people are using 2000 Fbody but is there anything else?

Are the S&P headers mid length? Do they hang below the frame?

Do the BRP headers fit good and have any clearance issues or hang below the frame? I'm running a 4l60E behind the 6.0.

And if you both don't mind me asking what are the prices on these... trying to compare the good with the bad.

I would consider them mid leangth, and no they dont hang past the frame rail. You still have to cut the ears off the 4l80e. they run about 500

The BRP Headers are about $450 and they don't hang down below the frame rail, they are 21" long The will fit 4L60E's without issues.
