I am looking at doing the above for a fellow. For those of you with an LS engine in an S-10, what did you do for headers and engine mounts? This is a drag race package.

It will need to be a 1 7/8 x 3.5 header

You might have to dig around a bit but there are a lot of LS engine swaps in that group. HTH

Has to be the second most popular swap right behind the Mustang.

TRZ motorsports and Motion Raceworks might be good place to start.

Another would be S&W rae cars.

After a few days of searching, I see the market holds a set of under truck 1 7/8"
that has two tubes inside frame and two tubes over the frame. That design limits front tire size and I like running a large OD front tire.

The other 1 7/8" option is the forward facing/forward exit design. Each time I look at the photos of the forward-facing header I like it a little more.

NOTE: I need the 1 7/8" tube to relieve the exhaust port. The LS3 CNC heads have a large, D port exhaust that will barely clear at 1 7/8"

I'm really liking my set up. I also run the radaitor in the bed.

My Muscle Rod headers go 2/2 around the frame, the tubular A arms kill the first header tube on the passenger side.

1leg, what is your reason for doing so?

I realize your not asking me but I also run the radiator in the bed.

A few reasons...

Nose weight - with a fiberglass front end, doors and rearend, aluminum block I am still 52.5%

Radiator Size - no limit to how big you can run if you choose to

Tubular Front K Member - not to say you can't run a radiator with that setup but it makes packaging harder

Easy Maintenance - with the fiberglass front end I can change a water pump in 5 minutes, just nice not having it up there.

got pics?

Easy way to move weight to the rear, Trucks are very nose heavy.
Really cleans up the engine compartment to make room for other things like turbos.
