The Gen5 LT architecture brought changes to the cylinder head exhaust port layout compared to the previous generation LS family, and using a flange designed and machined specifically for the LT1 ensures correct port alignment and an accurate bolt hole pattern from the start of the fabrication process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKooks produces the \u003cstrong\u003e70-024\u003c\/strong\u003e to the dimensional specifications of their own Gen5 LT1 header production, making this flange a direct reference to the same starting component used in their commercial header builds. Stainless steel construction provides the flatness retention and heat resistance needed in a high temperature exhaust application. Fabricators building custom LT1 headers, shops repairing cracked flanges, and racers working on one off header configurations will find this flange the correct and accurate starting point for their build. A complete V8 installation requires two flanges, one per cylinder bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle bank flange for one cylinder head of a GM Gen5 LT1 engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 7\/8 inch port opening for standard LT1 primary tube diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrecision machined to Kooks LT1 header production specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorrect bolt hole pattern for Gen5 LT1 cylinder head exhaust ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel for flatness retention and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for custom header builds and flange replacement on existing headers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x this flange single bank 1 7\/8 inch Gen5 LT1 header flange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number (MPN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70-024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContact us for UPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePort Opening\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 7\/8 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoverage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle Bank (One Cylinder Head)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGM Gen5 LT1 Engines\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCustom Header Fabrication and Flange Replacement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat engine does this flange fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis flange is designed for GM Gen5 LT1 engines found in 2014 and later Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Camaro SS, and other LT1 powered platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this flange compatible with the older LS1 head pattern?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. The Gen5 LT1 cylinder head uses a different exhaust port bolt hole layout than the LS family.
