alot of you guys know I did an engine swap to a 406 ,the problem is the steering,houseing is in the way with shorty sbc headers I don't know if mid lenght will get by ,?the next thought is lt1 headers ,whats your the thoughts on this thanks guys

 

oh you guys are so great thanks for the help how about lt1 headers ,bye pasetter,I guess I don't feel need to post pictures ,again this site is so lame ,I am not sure why I belong to it ,other then few who helped with the swap,bolted right on long tube ,not sure why it so lame but is is ,an they look great ,not that anyone cares but my car , no one wants to race me now hahahahahaha

 

Honestly, I wasn't certain that LT1 headers matched up perfectly to a gen 1 sbc. I don't answer if I don't know, but good to know for next time. Keep in mind you're only about the 3rd person on this site who has "old schooled" their 4th gen, so the number of those who would know what works/fits isn't that great.
As far as your dissatisfaction about nobody jumping on this one for you, I'll make sure you get a full refund on all the consultation fees you paid up to this point. lol

 

oh hay, yes they work. lol, theres only 5 of us gotta give us a break once in a while.

 

Like Camaro 69 said, there is simply no way to be sure. There is very little clearance on Lt1 headers. For us to say they will fit would have to know every detail of the fabrication involved. If the motor got shifted to the side or raised slightly then the headers would not fit. Heck I have read about guy having problems with fitment just because the motor mounts were worn out. Many of the guys that convert from v6’s end up making custom headers because the motor is not sitting in the same place as the LT1.

If we say they will fit and they don’t we are idiots, if we say they won’t fit and they do we are idiots. I am pretty sure I told you when you started this project there are no manuals. Just about everything from this point out will be trial and error.

You still using the stock rear? Stock rears can be broken with a lot less torque then what you have now. Even a stock LT1 can do it. Think real hard before you go out racing.

 

ok sorry I try to answer a few question hear an there too,it was the steering housing is why the fit so well for true duals,go figure nothing from the lt1 worked accept them,well I am kinda glad I replaced near everything anyhow ,new to me anyhow ,they look great,thanks guys

 

now like night an day ,got 65lbs oil pressure water temps ,throttle responce before that it was a dog, with old y pipe an manifolds, feels like I released 50 hp+ ,shifting down to 2nd an stay around 2500 rpms seems easy ,got to turn up the idle today at about 900 to 1100 ,its a screamer now ,nice to finaley feel the power of the 406,only thing is the paint burns off right away with black headers , oh well ,still much better fo the engine ,I don't feel as much heat comeing from under the car ,its like it was all being locked up in the old sytem,I think the only thing that is just a bit louder is full bore ,from single chamber,yes they are kinda low to the ground .I will have to avoid speed bumps .around hear not to many ,will work on getting them up another inch or so when I add tips ,but yes true street rod now

 

I will get more when runging later I will try to upload video

 

for those who want to hear how they sound go to my engine swap an see the video ,like night an day ,very loud,i need to do the drive off too,still amazeing 312 views an 8 posts you guys need to get a life ,I could not do what you all do without being somewhat involved,you guys got nothing better to do ,but read ,

 

I got to say headers are ok ,but I think I get the best an most hp from the true duals as well
