You should start another post on this, but here goes....if you run a mechanical linkage setup, I would bet that there are many long tube headers to fit your app. The deal on the LS swaps/stick shift, is that all off the headers(other than the streetrod shorties listed) are designed for the hyd clutch, & intrude on the space for the bell crank & linkage? I have not done your trans swap, so I can not give you the best advice I suggest, that you start a new post, for your app....not to be an azz who, but you may find a guy that has been there, for the "proper" help Longhorn
