New guy from TX, LT1 swap in progress

I've started an LT1 swap into my 78 TA. What are folks using for headers on the LT1 and a second gen f body frame?

That sounds like a badass swap. Welcome to the site from a fellow Texan! Whereabouts are you located? Got pics? We love pics here!

Shoenfeld makes a d port header for various body styles. They are cheap, $180 cheap. When i was in the market for a set for my g body it was either that or a $1000 custom made set.

And welcome! We need some pics of that rig. I've always had a spot in my heart for the 78 ta. Most beautiful of all the trans ams.

It's like you took the words right out of my brain lol. The 78 Bandit TA will always be the most iconic classic muscle car in my mind, I grew up watching the crap out of that movie and drooling over that car haha.

One of the last true american muscle cars in my opinion. I had a 77 for a while and my brother bugged me about it until I sold it to him. Now it sits parked it in a barn with the windows down and cats use it as a birthing center.
