Shorty headers worth it?
Do shorty headers make a difference on an LS1 vs the stock manifolds? I'm putting my LS1 in mt '61 Impala, and doubt Iwill be able to find any long tubes for it without being cusome made.

Very little in my opinion. The LS1 manifolds aren't bad.

The shorties will gain little to no power over stock manifolds. If you are doing it for looks then go for it. Also, you may want to consider Z06 manifolds they are good for a few hp and some torque.

Rubes,
If you want to go with the Z06 manifolds, I have a set. I can bring them when I come to Chicago.

Rubes, you may want to do a little searching on LS1tech for pictures to make sure these will work in your chassis.

You have no idea how many sets of manifolds I have chunked, regular and Z06's. The only people I know willing to buy them would be SCCA type racers that must stick to factory peices. Honestly, just ask whatever you want for them. It's better than nothing.

Rubes, If you are interested I will be pulling out my S&P shorties in about a month and selling them, they are for a 67-69 Camaro with stock steering. Reason is I'm switching to 1-3/4 LT's
I also have a set of '02 manifolds if you are interested.1969 CAMARO RS

Thanx guys...looks like I'll stick with the stockers for now. This is NOT a performance build, and my first attempt at a "budget" project. Besides, I'll have to make custom ones later when I put the dual turbos on it...(did I hear someone say "budget"...yeah right!!!) Andrew...drop me a line or ring when your in town, and maybe we can meet up for dinner or something if ya got time.
