They make gbody LS headers. If you you don't want to pay what their asking and have torches and hammers go with the camaro headers. Not sure about the s10 ones but the camaro headers need some heating and bending to clear. The drivers side is supposed the point for the framerail unless you heat and straighten it and I think they hit on the uppers on the passenger side. That is with pacesetters.
I have Camaro headers sitting around that are Pacesetter brand new still in plastic. I was going to go that route but switched back to old school. Let me know if interested.
Do it right and buy the Holley engine mounts and headers. Other brands and shade tree swaps will likely result in low hanging headers with little clearance. Swapping in headers designed for other platforms will work but anyone looking at the work will realize it was not well planned.
No argument that they can be made to work. I've seen how they fit on a buddy's Monte SS and after massaging them he was still unhappy with how low they were not to mention the crappy pinion angle the 1" setback mounts created. He is now changing everything over to Holley (mounts, headers and exhuast). F body header fitment on a G body has also been well documented on LS1tech.com with images to show how low they hang. It boils down to preference I guess. Coming from an engineering background I like to do things right the first time.
