The LS1 swap headers are done!!!! - Page 5 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just a quick note for anyone else looking for a dipstick. There's a typo in the first post in the thread. The correct part number for the Lokar dipstick is ED-5008 and not ED-5800 as listed. Hope this helps someone!

Ordering update: Just got off the phone with Nick @ Thorley and he's no longer offering the discounted price mentioned in the first post, but one of their distributors (BJ's Off-Road) is. Just finished placing my order. Here's the contact info:

Phone: 253-265-6678, ask for Brent (no, not me!)
URL: bjsoffroad.com (these aren't on their site, however)

My price was $525 plus $30 shipping to Minnesota. Nick @ Thorley sent an IM to Brent @ BJ's and Brent called me back within a couple minutes of my hanging up with Nick. Friendly, painless transaction.

It should go without saying, but just in case ... I have no connection whatsoever with this business except having placed an order with them. Posting this info to help save someone a phone call.

Hey, do your tri-y headers for the original style small block in a C10 hang below the frame?

boostat4500 · 07-23-2009, 07:58 PM

Still wondering if these will work in a 4x4? Anybody? Thanks.

BigShoe24 · 07-23-2009, 10:16 PM

These look pretty quality. Anyone think they'd fit a 5.7 with a 4l80e mounted to a Porterbuilt Dropmember. This is all stuffed in a 67 btw. Thanks in advance.

shrtbx · 07-29-2009, 01:22 AM

Here are my pics. This is a '69 frame with a 5.3 / 4lL60.

Will the exhaust man be able to make a slight bent in my exhaust pipe (just out of the header) to make it up and over the OEM cross member??

Also, I need more information on the plug wires I need to use. I would like to find some that are already cut to the proper length. Any ideas??

If you look close, I had already cut my frame before I bought these.

Very pleased with these headers!!!

My stock exhaust ran UNDER that crossmember, that is how i plan on running it this time (duals).
there are MSD or Taylor wires that can be used. MSD comes in Red or Black; Taylors are red, black, and blue. $75 shipped for MSDs and $65 for Taylors.
*today I have also tried to get my plugs and wires installed and realized the stockers were not going to work so I will be using the Taylors.

boostat4500 · 08-01-2009, 03:58 PM

Quick heads up on the wires. Spend the extra for the MSD wires. I've used both the MSD and Taylor wires. The Taylor were crap. The first time I had to remove them, 4 of the 8 came apart and were trash. And they were only on the truck less than 1k miles. I've had the MSD's on and of multiple times on many different vehicles and never had a problem. Just my .02

All I need is a part number for the MDS's (or a description that I can look up) so I can place an order. I would like to get the right wires right off the bat.

Thanks for the input!!! I was almost sold on the Taylor wires.

PM'd you.

here are some pix from today.
blue wires are stock GM unit from the motor I got and the red ones are the F-body ones that I will be replacing with black ones.

pcmcobra · 08-01-2009, 09:05 PM

pm me and I can give you info on best price anywhere.

gregbr · 08-01-2009, 09:11 PM

I just ordered two sets from this guy. Best price anywhere and you can add a set of NGK plugs for only $10.

Jamie sent you a PM but it said you box was full.

Hey Jamie - I ordered a set of the LS swap headers and I am trying to run them with Porterbuilt's dropmember-c4 but I am having some clearance issues. I was curious if you guys have any experience with his dropmember? I guess it sets the motor back a bit and causes the headers to hit the firewall. I wanted to check with you to see if you had any advice before getting another type of header.

BigShoe24 · 08-20-2009, 12:44 AM

Any word on the clearance issue with the Porterbuilt DM? I was planning on ordering a set of these, but sounds like they won't work. ATP, have you fond any alternatives? Thanks

PBFAB.COM · 08-20-2009, 01:00 AM

Hoping to figure something out.... maybe some Porterbuilt Headers will surface in the near future?
