Depending on how much you want to spend Ebay had some killer deals on long tubes over the winter and they were very cheap compared to new. You might be able to hit up LS1tech.com and LS1.com for used parts but be careful of the latter due to many scammers. MFBA might have some good used stuff coming up. I know Brandon got his LT1 billet gril VERY cheap off of ebay and it was new too:thumbsup
thank bro ill check out both places!
you lookin for your car or pops car?
otherwise if it's for your LT1, camaroz28.com's message board is the best for LT1 stuff.
I had custom subframes made up. boxed tubing, and they are tucked up there QUITE nicely. Kinda on the expensive side, but to me well worth it because it isn't just tied in on the ends. He welded it in the middle and the bottom of the floorpan too.

PS- gears are something you want to buy NEW. i don't trust used cams nor gears :)
Here's a set of SLP longtubes in the Chicago area.
SLP Longtubes $650
These are/were some of the best headers you can get for an LS1 (I just happen to have them, myself). Although I haven't checked recently what the going price is for them. When I got mine I paid a lot more (including y-pipe too) but then again there weren't near as many choices available.

Used gears I will agree with, unless you know the persona nd how they were used, but roller cams are not an issue... I mean you can just look at a roller cam and tell if it has been abused or not...Quote:

true on the roller cams, i've just been so used to pop's talking about it from when i was a little kid and working on the standard SBC and BBC :)
Oh yes, I would NEVER buy a flat-tappet cam used.. very bad mojo there... :goofQuote:

meh...I've done it with other cars i've worked on.
As long as you trust that the lifters were accurately labeled to designate that it goes to the correct lobe (IE driverside, cylinder #2, Intake...or just D2) then there really isn't an issue...you just look for scouring/wipe lobe/bad cam journals as you would virtually any other cam.
I used a used cam on the "valcuda" w/ no issues...The lifters weren't labeled or stored as I've labeled/stored them in the past, it was still simple enough to figure out (the seller used an egg carton :rolleyes: ). But it was kind of nice not to have to go through the break-in procedure either.
i just don't trust other people farther than i can throw 'em, and i'm a skinny guy so that's not very far :)
