Re: 69 longhorn ls swap(pics)
There were some pics on Web shots, but I think they are long gone now? If you punch in Illinois Longhorn, there is a walk around clip on U-tube. Late @ night, its pretty dark, but give an idea about the truck overall & exhaust sound @ idle... longhorn

Re: 69 longhorn ls swap(pics)
Glad to see someone else used those headers!! I've brought those up a few times on the many (swap headers) discussions on here, and everyone wants to spend $400 on a set of long ones. Although I had to build my own 2 1/2" reducers because mine came with 2 1/4", plus I pointed them straight down instead of at the oil pan.

Re: 69 longhorn ls swap(pics)
Amen brother, those headers fit around the gen 1 clutch linkage, on my 2wd truck...(a big thank you, you showed them to me)! I also went 2 1/2" on the pipes..(speedway motors , stainless tubes). The tubes are mandrel bent... (90 down, & about a 30 kick on the bottom)? They hit the stock pipes really damn close to where the headers were on that Gen I ,383

Re: 69 longhorn ls swap(pics)
I am sorry to say, no I don't have any build pics on the clip. It sure was a pile of work tho... That's what slow winters are for, I guess ? Longhorn

Re: 69 longhorn ls swap(pics)
Hooker#2312 (painted), or #2313 (ceramic coated). The painted versions can be had for around $225, Summit, Jegs, or Carshop inc. I did blast & recoat mine with a high temp bbq grill paint to give a tougher coating. Longhorn

Re: 69 longhorn ls swap(pics)
Some guys don't like to see the carb , on that little "fuelie", but all in all she is a very smooth ride! The line angles are right on....& you have to love on the screamin gears? For the guys that ran that m-22 Muncie, the Richmond is south on 1st gear (3.28), &.76 in OD....2-5, are very close to that old Muncie trans. The old truck, is a tad old school....a mix , from 30-40 yrs....my build/my feelings, on what I like? at 3000 rpms, she will cruise 100 mph, all day long in OD....on the same hand, in the lower gears, dance the loud peddle & you can twist that old truck sideways
