I was thinking about picking up a 99' Camaro parts car and using as much as I can out of that. hi, just curious was there any particular reason why you chose the 5.3 Yukon harness?

However I do have a very good fabricator friend who will be helping me for beer... so We'll see! Thank you very much for chiming in and taking a look at the site! -Paul Terry,

I spent a good 40 hours on them and they look like crap - and I'm not a total hack at fab work. Our "stupid expensive" E36 LS1 swap, stainless steel, production headers are $1650, a whopping $55 more than LG Motorsports long tubes for a C5 or C6 Corvette (http://www.lgmotorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=474_475&products_id=2113). And remember: ours used to be $2850/set! We make these in VERY low volumes and they are the best headers you will ever see for an E36 LS1, bar none. They are SUPER easy to R&R, and in their third iteration are perfectly tweaked for the best fit. Just know going in - when you build your own headers they won't look nearly as nice, fit as well, or make as much power as something that has been developed over 3+ years by a world class fabricator (Dallas Performance's Taylor Sims) and built to order on production fixtures by a major header manufacturer...

Might you have any suggestions? http://lsxe36m3.com/?p=80 If I can save some fabrication time by using some ford headers rather then building from scratch that would be great. basically I need a block hugger long tube header, and then modify the drivers side where the steering shaft goes through the tubes. Maybe a set of fox body headers? Awesome thank you for the tip, If you look here you can see what kind of clearance issues I will be facing… Might you have any suggestions?

One trick I've seen a lot of guys use is to take small block ford headers and weld them to the LS flange since the port spacing is similar.
