LSX S10 headers

Anyone tried these for swapping in an ls1 into our cars yet?

I believe they use camaro manifolds to make the small bocks fit into the S10's so this would almost make sense that these would work for us ...

Its not worth buying and taking a chance that they'll fit when 4th gen shorty headers already fit our 3rd gens and probably for significantly less money too.

The reason people look for cheaper 'alternatives' are for long tube headers since long tubes for LS swap REQUIRE a swap header.

This doesn't apply to shortys and even some mid-lengths. Not to mention those LS1 headers you posted are 1 5/8". They'll work yes, but 1 3/4 seem to be the best/norm for your average LSx swap.

Re: LSX S10 headers

agreed. if you really want to go the shorty route, 4th gen ones are plentiful, cheap (relatively), and will fit without issue.
