1-7/8" long tube headers?
Anyone aware of a 1-7/8" long tube LS header available for the 67-72? I've found 1-3/4" but not the larger diameter tubes.
Thanks

Speed Engineering makes some but they are not coated, they are stainless steel. I guess you could have them coated. They are cheap enough and fit well.

Re: 1-7/8" long tube headers?
I just installed Speed Engineering 1-7/8" long tubes and am impressed with the quality for the price. It will be a while before I run them (frame off rebuild)
Did have to grind a little (3/8) off pass side frame . Also ear on transmission and nub on block above oil filter. I used MSD multi angle plug wires. |

I haven't heard anyone grinding on anything but the transmission to fit (and figure since mine is a M6 I might not have to). Guess I'll brace myself in case I have to do some more "fitting" like you did and maybe leave the front clip off until I know for sure.

67ls3 , do you have a picture of how low the long tubes hang past the frame? trying to get an idea how low they hang from a distance before i pull the trigger.

Re: 1-7/8" long tube headers?
Does anyone know if the speed engineering 1 3/4 or 1 7/8 headers work with a column shift?
Thanks, Wes

Re: 1-7/8" long tube headers?
I ordered a set this morning (1-7/8 long tube). I'm running a T-56 so I won't be able to comment on shift linkage clearance but I'll post some pics when they come in and I get them hung.
