I really like the left side headers desing. But right looks really tight between 2-4 cylinders:(

But how about these Pontiac G8 GT headers ?

These look much better , but could they clear subframe ??

Can't go wrong with KOOKS headers. They make killer headers for the LSx engines.:thumbsup:
As far as clearance, I would call them and I'm sure they will give you a good/honest answer. they have a reputable business. GOOD LUCK!!!
Those G8 headers look great don't they???:wow:

I will have a set shortly. they told me it would clear the stock steering box.

1 7/8 here..

Very popular with the LSx crowd.

Scott has em on his LS7 '69 in Camaro Performers, Nov issue.

My Kooks headers are 4th Gen F-body LS7 swap headers. It took a lot of cutting, sectioning and moving to make them work. Nothing like putting a brand new set of stainless steel headers in the band saw. :willy:

Thats scary, It would be interesting to see if the G8 ones fit, I hope the new Kooks wouldn't need to meet the band saw! but the LS7 has different port design,
