Tf 55-59 With M2 headers on LS engine?? Help

[jaws61]

HI
Im curious if anyone put headers on a TF Truck with a mustang 2 front suspension with a LS engine... I"m trying to get an idea of what one to buy and trying not to buy a pair and not be able to use them..
If anyones done anything like this or something close let me know!! I've looked up the projects but havent found anything and searched..
Thanks and Thanks!

I tried Pacesetter 70-2259, they fit but the steering linkage was not going to work very well. My motor sits about an inch forward of where it should be and that may be why.

I ended up using the Hooker cast iron items, no problems.

do you really want headers or is it that you just can't find manifolds to fit between the frame rails? I used 2000 camaro manifolds and they fit with room to spare.

here are a couple of pics in my 57

I'm looking for headers but that is great to see about the camaro manifolds.. are the manifolds off 98-02 camaro or the 2009 and newer? Thanks always good to have something in the pocket.. thanks

they were off a 2000 camaro.

I used 2011 Camaro manifolds and they clear nicely. I went from the nightmare of 4 u joints with a heim joint to 2 u joints and a straight DD.
These are on ZL1 Camaros as well, so they flow 500+ HP.

interested if you ever found a set that fit. I'm installing an ls in my scotts hotrods equipped 57 soon and need to find out what works. Thanks

I end up using a set of Speed Engineering LS Longtube Headers 1 7/8" C10 Trucks Universal (Swap, Conversion) LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6 but I asked they are the exactly the same as the Camaro 67-69 headers as well.

I love the headers and the fit is great and shouldnt be a problem with the steering column too with only two knuckles.

I'll post pics when i get that far or I might have one up on my build too.

Awesome. Do you know if they hang below the rockers at all? clear motor mounts ok?

[jaws61]

Man, thanks a ton Jaws61. Huge help. Nice build! Same plan I have for my tank. It sucks you had to chop the floor up. I was hoping to get away with putting in the high hump trans cover and calling it good. Oh well, I'll cross that road when I get there. I look forward to watching your build come along bro. Best of luck.

Thanks for the complement You'll probably be able to get away with the high hump actually, I didnt have the tranny set down 3 degrees but at level so i could have gotten a way with cutting alot less of the floor but at least its ready for the t56 i get one down the road. lol I'll have more pics for you in a week for the power steering and stuff, Just getting out of paint..
