Headers For Vortec Engine Swap
I am currently swapping a GMPP Vortec 5.7 in my 89 GTA. I am looking for a set of headers that would bolt up to the stock Y pipe and fit the vortec heads. Also, I do not need the Emision out puts on the headers, only a bung hole for an O2 sensor. Any info greatly appreciated.

For any aftermarket headers to work with the stock y-pipe you would have to get reducers and modify the stock y-pipe. Then you may also run into the issue that most reducers are a flange type. The hookers, headmans, and edelbrocks are a ball and socket style.
