Thanks for the header/sparkplug info bro! For anyone doing an ls swapped in the near future, DO NOT use the ebay shorty headers. Trust me, spend the money. You'll just wind up spending the same amount on heat socks, plug wires, and collector gaskets. Along with several burnt fingers and hot days under the truck! Ask me how I know

It sucks you cant get any real headers for a zr2 4x4 s10 LS swap. All that I know of that work are the cast steel exhaust manifolds from the LS1 98-99 camaro/TransAm (F-bodies) which still need the 3 bolt flange cut off with an extension welded to them. I've also hear that the early (05-07or 08 IIRC) gmc envoy 5.3 and trailblazer 5.3L exhaust manifolds will fit a zr2 s10/blazer. I believe they too need to be modified as well. I'm not sure if the trailblazer SS exhaust manifolds will and I cant find any information on that either. If anyone knows a better manifild or header solution for a LS swap in a 2000 zr2 4x4 s10 that has no aftermarket suspension or body lift kit on it, please share. I'm doing an L33 aluminum block 5.3 swap into my zr2 with a bed mounted turbo once I have the 5.3L's bugs worked out. My L33 already has an LS6 intake with a 3 bar MAP and DBC throttle body swapped onto it with 80lb injectors.
