LT1 and LS1 Big Headers
Folks,
I have been navigating the internet for a solution to a problem I thought was unique to my situation. I purchased a set of Kooks Headers for my 94 LT1 Camaro and once installed I found I could not re-install the steering shaft with out banging up my $1600.00 stainless headers. I found an outfit out of Minnesota called Race Craft (507)-403-4104, they specialize in 3rd and 4th Gen Camaros and Mustangs for Drag racing. I spoke to Matt on their tech line and he put together the kit I needed. Given the fact that my local dealer wanted 369.00 for the stock LSI steering shaft (which is what everyone on the internet recommended) and I still had to grind, modify and bang on the header pipes; I found the $350.83 in line with what I needed. I have attached some pictures I took of the shaft assembled and connected on my car. As you will see I have about 1/4 inch of space between the pipe and the new steering shaft and it works like a charm, Thanks to Mat and the team at Race Craft.
