BRP sells some but kind of pricey...I know mooseknucle used Dynatechs 70-81 camaro long tubes for LS swaps in his 86 and they fit like a glove but not sure how they'd fit in your 89...

yes its 2wd and this is a extreme budget the price of the headers is gonna cut into my cam setup .. so i want to buy some used f-bodies if i can for half the price of the schoenfeld

As long as you dont mind breaking out the BFH and possibly notching the frame a little the f bodys will work. Compared to other longtubes I have had the schoenfelds arent that bad and they bolt right in. But I can definitely understand the budget constraints.

if you do decide to go with schoenfelds. do yourself a favor an buy some hightemp paint an sand an paint. they come painted black but will just flake off after awhile. there just painted to keep from rusting and after 3-4 months will flake off an slowly rust
