which longtubes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jmiller022 · 07-12-2013, 12:11 PM

Im looking at putting some longtubes on my 68c10 5.3 swap, but am unsure what will fit with only minor mods.

I know the thorley headers are made for this swap but are $2-300 more than f-body, or TBSS headers and i had heard that either of them will work as well.

Im looking at some pacesetter longtubes for the early 2000s camaros. Will they fit?

I am using the trans-dapt mount kit. If that really matters.

Thanks for any help.

I'm running dynatech f-body long tubes on mine with trans dapt mounts as well. not the same year but whatever...

68GMCCustom · 07-13-2013, 06:54 PM

yeah but those aren't for a 4th gen f-body though....more like 2nd gen, or 1st.

mooseknuckles · 07-13-2013, 06:59 PM

yeah...sorry. second gen f-body.

I'm using the TBSS pacesetters on mine and they fit without any issues.

If you look at my build thread, starting at post 119, there are some pictures and captions.

Looks good, any specific year? Did they always just have the ls2?

I have Pacesetter TBSS headers on mine, they fit nicely.
All had LS2's.
Any V8 Envoy/TB header will work.
