1-7/8" Ceramic Coated LT Series Long Tube Headers for 1973-1987 2WD GM Trucks
Installing an LT engine in a 1973-1987 GM 2WD truck demands headers that match factory ports precisely and clear chassis components cleanly. These 1-7/8 ceramic coated headers deliver that flexibility with 3/8 inch thick flanges that seal against leaks and O2 sensor bungs prepped for welding into your exhaust path. The durable ceramic finish includes multiple layers to reflect radiant heat back into the exhaust flow, reducing underhood temperatures and supporting stronger scavenging. Complete gaskets and bolts are provided for a straightforward installation, letting you lock in the fit with confidence and move on to tuning your engine swap.
Advanced Ceramic Heat Shielding
The robust ceramic coating on these long tube headers is applied in multiple even layers to create a resilient barrier that reflects heat back into the exhaust stream. By trapping radiant energy within the headers, underhood temperatures are significantly lower, safeguarding wiring, hoses, and nearby components. Keeping more heat in the exhaust path also boosts scavenging efficiency, which can improve throttle response and torque delivery. Over repeated thermal cycles the finish resists chipping and abrasion, ensuring consistent performance in demanding driving conditions.
Precision CNC Flange Alignment for LT Engine Swaps
Each header flange is CNC formed and machined to match factory exhaust ports with exact tolerance, eliminating common alignment issues. At three eighths inch thick, the flanges provide a sturdy sealing surface that resists warping under heat and vibration. When paired with the supplied composite gaskets and high grade bolts, installers achieve a leak free seal on first torque without the need for repeated adjustments. This precision fit streamlines the swap process and prevents exhaust leaks that can degrade performance or trigger engine codes.
Complete Bolt On Kit with O2 Sensor Integration
This headers package includes every component needed for a straightforward installation, from V band clamps to gaskets and bolts. Weld in the pre-tapped O2 sensor bungs directly into your exhaust piping for accurate back-pressure readings and seamless integration with your engine management system. All parts are manufactured in the USA under strict quality standards, giving you confidence in fit and finish. The bolt on design ensures you can move from mock-up to road test quickly, letting you focus on tuning rather than chasing missing hardware.
