Which headers are you talking about? Pretty rare to have them spec'd for '82-'87.
But, no difference in the exhaust ports or chassis, so as long as you don't mind some fabrication of the rest of the exhaust, they'll fit.

"HO" would be '83-'86, and for all practical purposes, '83-'85.
No, it wouldn't make any difference. Possibly the connection to the cat from the y-pipe, that's about all that would change.
What headers are we talking about here?

Re: 82-87 headers on a 91?
The headers themselves are 99% identical for all years. What is different is usually the y-pipe to cat connection. However, the ones made for LG4/TBI engines will have smaller y-pipes than the ones made for TPI/L69 "H.O." engines.

Re: 82-87 headers on a 91?
Sounds like Edelbrock TES for L69. The Ti-Tech coating, from what I can gather, is a high temp paint. The 68713 is for LG4 - stay away from them. 68743 is the larger y-pipe L69 application. Both require reusing the EFE valve, so if you get the 68743, you need an L69 EFE valve.
If emissions-legal is the issue, Hooker 2055HKR fill that bill, will use the '86-'90 TPI single cat.

I also found this http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku
i could just get any headers then weld these in. It allows for far more applications! (and weld in an 02 sensor bung)
