5th Gen Camaro

Will 5th Gen Camaro long tube headers work on a LS swap in a 1968 Truck? I have seen them mentioned but didn't see where someone said if they will or won't work.

Thank you,

TSgt Turner

Re: 5th Gen Camaro

What about Doug Thorley long tubes? is there a reason you are wanting the F-body headers?

Re: 5th Gen Camaro

I can get a set of stainless long tubes for a camaro for around $350. That is why. Otherwise I will more than likely be using Trail blazer SS headers. But I thought I would ask and see if anyone had tried it and had any luck.

Re: 5th Gen Camaro

I put 5th gen long tubes on my 85 gmc. Mine is a 4x4 but here are some pics, maybe it will help you figure out the dimensions a little better. I picked them up for $250 off Ebay.

These last two pics show how the collectors dip a little lower than the crossmember. But your application will be different. Either way, cutting off the collectors and re-welding them will be easy.

Re: 5th Gen Camaro

In those pics above it looks like it's a tight squeeze, but there is LOADS of room so don't be fooled. Also, I'm using Dirty Dingo motor mounts.

Re: 5th Gen Camaro

Thank you. And I wonder how much different the setup is on mine. Thank you replying. And that is what I was looking to see.
