Thanks for the input!!! I was almost sold on the Taylor wires.

I just ordered two sets from this guy. Best price anywhere and you can add a set of NGK plugs for only $10.

Jamie sent you a PM but it said you box was full.

Hey Jamie - I ordered a set of the LS swap headers and I am trying to run them with Porterbuilt's dropmember-c4 but I am having some clearance issues. I was curious if you guys have any experience with his dropmember? I guess it sets the motor back a bit and causes the headers to hit the firewall. I wanted to check with you to see if you had any advice before getting another type of header.

Any word on the clearance issue with the Porterbuilt DM? I was planning on ordering a set of these, but sounds like they won't work. ATP, have you fond any alternatives? Thanks

Hoping to figure something out.... maybe some Porterbuilt Headers will surface in the near future?

Going to do the 5.3 swap next month and am seeing alot of issues about clearance between the headers and CPP motor mounts. I have a pair or tubular motor mounts from Performance Online, does anyone know if they will hit also ????

Not quite true. See here.

I think that was the post that first raised the Porterbuilt issue. At any rate, it was only late August that PB mentioned something (in their response to that post -- #123 in this thread) about maybe looking at building their own. I imagine it's pretty tough to bring newly designed headers to market in just two months. :)

To keep up with current productioin and work loads, developing a new product would take more than a couple of months for sure!!

I'm not opposed to trimming/recessing the firewall in order to make a clean set of headers fit. Any guesses on how big of an area would need to be modified?

Re: The LS1 swap headers are done!!!!
 
Just a quick heads-up .... Doug Thorley is now selling these directly for $528. Use promo code DT (advertised prominently right on their website) and take 10% off. With free shipping, that's $475.20. Helluva deal compared with what I paid.

http://www.dougthorley.com/CartGenie/prod-10.htm

EDIT: Got looking at it more closely and I guess it's not Thorley selling direct but BNR Performance operating with the dougthorley.com domain. Whatever the case, it's a helluva price.

With all due respect, I don't think pestering us will help. From the look of this thread, only one person has tried the headers with the Dropmember. If I were you I'd send a message to atp, the person who reported the issue in post #122 (just go back a page) and ask him for specific details about the fitment issues he encountered. I doubt he's monitoring this thread and just ignoring you. :)

Good luck!

I called bnr performance (www.dougthorley.com) about some headers for my 71 and he is offering 15% off of the price listed on the webstore if you enter promo code 6772, that brings these headers down to $448.80 shipped! Crazy good deal! He said that deal would work on all headers as well, not just the LS1 conversion headers.
