Quik Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 hey guys as some of you know i said i was going to use Fbody headers well guess what? today well getting ready to remove the 5.3 i tried them out. to let you know first off they are Mac 1 3/4 mid lenghts designed for a Fbody. they came with a Y pipe but i havent tried that yet to see how i need to modify it. the driver side fit with no issues at all. passenger side i had to tweak alittle bit in the vise to egg the two lower tubes and bring them closer together. by doing this it brought it away from the frame and the starter.

Quik Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 kinda cool that a header for a Fbody would fit a truck. im not sure but i think these headers will also fit your SSS trucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quik Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 they are the tranny lines, they currently are just hanging there. its not that big of a deal where they are stock. have plenty of room to clear them when they are in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 You'll have the same issues with tranny lines no matter which headers you go with. At least it has been that way with the two sets of L/Ts I had. I would make sure you have at least 1/2" of space from the frame to account for suspension travel.

Quik Posted March 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 well mocked up the Fbody Y pipe and it seems that it would work if you have a custom exhaust made up and the 5.3 is out of there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
