1972 chevy LS-1 swap
I am currently doing a frame off 1972 chevy 4x4 blazer and installing a LS-1 engine and need to find out if anyone has done this and can you help with the exhaust manifolds?

Re: 1972 chevy LS-1 swap
Corvette manifolds I believe stay tighter to the engine. I've always just made headers to work

Re: 1972 chevy LS-1 swap
I think the tbss manifolds work. And I gonna watch your progress I'm going to be doing the same thing. What did you use for the cross member?

Re: 1972 chevy LS-1 swap
For Trans used the stock one and for the motor used the Pacific fab cross member!

Re: 1972 chevy LS-1 swap
I have pacesetter long tube headers for a TBSS and they hit my shackles so I have to have them modified. I think Doug Thorley makes a conversion header.

Re: 1972 chevy LS-1 swap
There's some 4x4 swap guys out there. I was going to use the TBSS manifolds on mine but put headers on instead. I'll sell them if you need them. You also need a special engine cross member unless you plan on fabbing one yourself. I got mine from Pacific Fabrication.

Re: 1972 chevy LS-1 swap
I have the TBSS factory manifolds. I ended up buying Doug Thorley headears. They were like 6 or 7 hundred bucks, I forget.

Re: 1972 chevy LS-1 swap
2010 + Camaro manifolds tuck tight to the block and are 2.5" at the collector.
Check out this thread and the LSx section in general.... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...amaro+manifold |

I used 2012 Camaro manifolds. They fit like a glove.

Re: 1972 chevy LS-1 swap
I used TBSS manifolds, cut the flanges off, and welded some pipe to them to extend down under the truck, to V-bands

Re: 1972 chevy LS-1 swap
I bought the 323Y-C. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/dte-323y-c
I was able to use this shift linkage without any issues with them. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/lo...FQsPaQodg34Oyg
