I have the GMPP pan kit and it clears fine. I have a set of ebay stainless F-body headers, the passengers side fits great but the drivers side hits the lower control arm.

do you have any pics of the drivers side??

BACKYARD88 · 11-16-2010, 04:26 PM

Not at the moment but I can get you some tonight.

kvn1011 · 11-16-2010, 06:35 PM

ok that would be cool,(re:pics)
are you going to fab new headers for the drivers side??

BACKYARD88 · 11-18-2010, 09:56 AM

After much heating and beating this is what I ended up with. When it's laid out(it's up a little in these pics) the header still contacts the arm. Obvoiusly this won't work so the only option is to get another set or have someone modify one (maybe two) of the tubes. I'm leaning towards another set because I don't care for the way the collector points out towards the framerail either. I'm not doing anything until I find a set that will fit for sure with no mods.

Is pretty easy to replace the oil pan and windage trey on the ls motor?
