Hi Joel, after some research I decided on the s10 ls swap headers. They are shorty headers but they fit really well, no need to modify the flange or any issues hitting the frame like the f body headers supposedly do. The only issue I encountered was a couple of the stock rear spark plug boots near the air box were coming into contact with the passenger header. That was solved by using msd wires with shorter boots. Otherwise I love the fit of them, they were simple to install, fit like a glove , and less than 150$ on eBay. I would recommend them if you’re ok with shorty headers. The downside was the supplied bolts didn’t fit the thread on the heads but again no real issue since I replaced them anyway. Time will tell on the longevity aspect. But so far no real discoloring other than some light rainbowing near the flange which doesn’t bother me. They are stainless steel as well so hopefully there will be no rusting. I will caution you that the engine bay is running especially hot now and I’ve run into some vapor lock issues, so Im considering wrapping them, you may want to do the same...I plan on doing an issue and lessons learned video in the future to go over some of this stuff so stay tuned. Hope that helps,
hey, i actually do have AC now, so I've had 2 belts. This is the one i have in my glove box not sure if its for w/ or w/out, but probably a good starting place - 6pk2821 (061110)

What type of headers are those in part number
What belt did you use? I assume you dont have an AC compressor right?

@@av8bud Thank you! I put my swap on hold but will make a note of the belt you gave me. Keep up the good work!
