VinhZXT Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hi all, I just did some searching and found these headers for the LS1 Z swap. Look like they should fit the LS1 swap with the Vette's mounts and JCI mounts. The collectors of the stock C5 headers are in the same location as these which is rearward offset. If you compare these with the JTR headers the JTR headers's collectors are offset to the front and they won't fit the LS1 with the Vette's mount (biscuits). I had modified my stock C5 headers to fit so I don't need to order these yet. However in the future I might change them out and go with these. So if anyone tried these out please send me some info about fitment and quality. Thanks V. scroll down to near the bottom of the page. http://www.rjays.com/Exhaust/snd-sbc-blockhuggers-01.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sent me those first and they would not fit with the JCI Mounts. The price is about the same as the ones I got directly from Sanderson. They may work with the Corvette style mounts.

VinhZXT Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 David, which side did you had the problem with? With the JTR headers I had problem with the passenger side one. It was hitting my C5 mount. Looks like the JTR headers are the same header but being used on both sides. The headers I need will have to offset to the rear (relative to the center line of the header) and on both sides. If the passenger side one offset rearward too much it will hit the starter also. But then again if it hit the starter then everyone with the LS1 should have the same problem. From the look of these headers I think it will hit the TC mount on the passenger side. Anyone using the C5 mounts got any info on their aftermarket headers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
