5.3 Swap YJ What Headers?

[ckruzer]

Anyone know of what specific headers have worked for someone else? Running the novak motor mounts.

The only concrete info I have found so far is that they need to be block hugger shortys with *near* center dump.

Thanks!

cant ya use the stock ones? I've read a lot of fellas doing that with the 6.0 ck versions with novak mounts!?

Also word that vette c6 mani's will work!? I'm no yj guy just what I've picked up reading the 5.3&6.0 swaps for my project/s!

The stock ones force a nasty bend to clear the firewall. The c5/c6 manifolds work. You can sometimes get them 75 bones a set but right now fleabay is only listing ones at a premium.

Hoping to find near center dump shorty huggers that someone else can point to and say "I bought those ones" lol

These are the ones I went with. Of course since my motor mounts are custom made they may not work with yours.

You would think at the price these would be total garbage but the construction and welds look really good.

yeah those wont work because they are true center. below image shows c6 manifolds which show how off center it has to be to clear by an inch.
