Do long tube headers fit on ls swapped 80's?
Mine is 6 litre (ly6)
4l70e transmission
Everything else apart from lift (3inch OME) is stock!
I'm just rebuilding my engine so nothing is in yet!

I am sure they will fit if you make them fit.

Seriously though, you should post this in the v8 swapped 80 series thread.

There's no "post new thread" button on the v8 swap or I would have!

sorry i misread your intent. i thought you were trying to add something to the v8 thread instead of adding a thread to the 80s section.

to your question. It would be nice but, i don't think your going to get any long tube headers off the shelf close enough to fit out of the box. i am sure you could get some made for enough $$. depending on your setup you could pick up a anywhere from 5-25HP over a block hugger style.

im in the process of gathering parts for a 6.2L (L94 - 6L80-E) swap on my 80. interested in what info you get out of this.

I'll have a look at huggers thanks!!
 
Look at summit racing. I'll post a few links later
 
i think you need to keep the motor mount in mind when looking at the headers i have seen mention of some fitment issues with various mount configurations.

Probably going with these unless i find something better
