Headers for small block, will it fit?

I see adds here and there for chevy small block headers 68 and up, will all of these fit our cars? Or for 82-92 need some mods?

you have to buy car specific headers, on our cars your stuck with shorties, you can get long tubes from hooker but not with the t5.

no you need to get a set that is maid for your car. shorties are the easiest and the long tube you need to make your own custom exhaust to make it true duel.

Hookers work with the T5, Hedmans don't.

Re: Headers for small block, will it fit?

Anybody know about long tubes with a T-56? I'm on deployment right now but am looking to upgrade my exhaust when I get back. Anyone have any preference or tips? I want 3", and large diameter... gotta let my 406 breathe right!
