73-87 Doug Thorley Swap Headers?
I just read through the threads where Jamie from Doug Thorley, CaptKaos, PCMCobra and others were working on LS Swap headers for the 73-87s and the posts abruptly stopped about a year ago and I cannot find any info on them. Does anyone know if Jamie ever got these headers to production and if so, where can I find info on them or a part number?
Thanks, Travis |

I have been wondering the same. PCM Cobra is now running the headers from S&P so I imagine the Doug Thorley stuff isnt in production yet.

Re: 73-87 Doug Thorley Swap Headers?
In my 5.3 swap, I used factory 2000+ 5.3 headers.. notched the frame a tad and dented in one tube per side with a piece of pipe... very close but it worked for me. I had a set of junk edelbrock headers for a 01 trans am (junk becuase they had seen concrete many times over) and the passenger side fit real nice. exhaust tucked right with the frame rail. drivers side didnt. i had to re route one tube and re direct the collector. all in all you could go either way without paying big $$.
