Re: Best long tubes for lt1 swap ??

The LT1 is a small block Chevy. Any SBC headers for our cars will work.

As far as which are "better", that's an open question. Some are pretty crappy in one way or another, and AFAIK none are what I would consider "ideal". It comes down to, what level of grief you're willing to deal with.

If there is ANY ONE property of headers that is to be avoided, it is "cheeeeeeep". Life is just entirely too short for that. Leave that word OUT OF your vocabulary. Remember, you get, AT BEST, what you pay for; so, if you pay the least, you get, AT BEST, .... ,, you finish the math.
