Port design differences... SBC (TPI) motors have the two center exhaust ports together (siamesed) and LS1s have equidistant exhaust ports (all are the same distance apart...)

Not even a chance to make them work. Have a better chance of Fox body headers fitting (LOL)...

Re: LS1 Headers On A 3rd Gen?
These guys are right, they have nothing in common with TPI engines, centers, port shapes, spacing, port height and even the subframe shape are very different.

Look at the headers then look at your exhaust ports. You gotta walk before you can run.
