Important Fitment & Use Information
These are universal custom-build LS swap headers, not direct-fit replacement headers. Vehicle-specific modifications, fabrication, and custom exhaust work may be required depending on the chassis, steering components, suspension, engine position, and exhaust routing.
Designed for vehicles manufactured in 1967 or earlier, prior to applicable federal emissions standards. Not intended for use on vehicles manufactured in 1968 or newer or engines originally equipped with emissions-control equipment.
Always verify engine, chassis, clearance, and exhaust compatibility before purchasing.
