Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

Did you look through the LT1 sticky in the top section of this forum?

I know I've seen discussions of LT1 headers on the Exhaust forum, did you look there?

I've moved this to the LTX and LSX subforum, where such swap discussions reside.

Re: LT1 eng swap w/4th gen hooker long tubes..will they fit?

they might work and fit somewhat but dont forget about how low they will hang and your ride height... I have searched forums for hours and basically I have found that everyone says that long tubes hang wayy too low if you are lowering your car. I have been looking for a solution to run long tubes with the LT1 and lowering the car pretty damn low and the only answer I found is running custom Kooks headers. I believe they are out here in Long Island where I live...

Anyone have info on this please share
