Anyone with an A-Body Schwartz Performance Chassis and LSX engine?

[The New Black]

I just got my LS2/T56 combo for my '67 Chevelle. For those of you running this combo in a Schwartz chassis, what headers are you using?



I see they have custom 1 7/8" headers, but I'm a big Kooks fan and want to run them as they are proven in both design, quality, and performance. Will they fit in this chassis? I emailed Schwartz and they couldn't recall anyone running Kooks. I just want to find out before going down that road. Thanks.

You're running stainless works with a schwartz chassis?

[66SuperSport]

Yes.
Chassis is about 4 years old, but I think the rails are still in the same locations. Just all mandrel bent now. Nothing really trick with the headers for this chassis as there really isn't much in the way.

Good to know, I appreciate it.

Chris, I'm not sure about your's but I had to remove and reshape the back two tubes on the left bank for steering shaft clearance. My shaft goes thru my headers. Worked out real nice but required a great deal of precision work. My headers are Stainless Works for 1st gen Camaro with LS engine. My rack is a Sweet circle track unit.

The headers that Randy on Chris' car and Mike used were shelf items from Stainless Works that required mods.
We now have Stainless headers specifically for this application. They are made with 1 7/8 tubes, with a merge cone in the collector.
I tested them extensively on the dyno along with a dozen other types.
We have these headers in stock.
