will these work?

Hey guys I have a question about headers...and yes I searched.
I am doing a 350 engine swap in my 82 T/A and I am wondering if these
headers will clear. The part number is 68460 which are headman long tube headers (JEGS). I have read around about some of the clearance issues and was just wondering if these are a good option.
Thanks.

I have them on my car. Had to modify some stuff to get them to fit.

Can you explain what you had to do a little bit?

You have to jack up the engine temporarily to get them in. They are worth it powerwse.

I am going to be putting a new engine in so I can just do it then...I read that I cant drop the engine in with em on though. The main thing I want to know is just like cutting/welding/grinding stuff like that.

Mine went in fine with the motor in place. I had to heat up the frame in a couple places and dent it so the headers wouldnt touch.
