opinions wanted: would these LT headers fit ?













i got these LT headers given to me last fall- so i have no idea what they are other than SBC ones,

i tried to incorporate the tape measure into the pics- but it didnt show up very well :-/

these headers are about 18" tall from the top down to the header collector- overall


also, they are 33" to 34" long overall -from the front end of the head port flange straight back and down to the end of the header pipe collector(longest length measurement of the entire header)

also do you think the front primary tubes look like they are shaped in such a way as to clear the engine suspension cradle of these cars?

these headers really seem shorter in length/height than what typical full size truck LT's are, in which i have had a few sets of over the years, both installed and not installed in trucks, they just seem smaller than those to me right now by memory


thanks for anything

I would guess that the passenger side would fit, but the driver's side would have problems.

Having gone out and looked under the hood, you might have problems with the rear a-arm mount on both sides.
