Re: Will these fit?

Not to be a dick but this has been asked 1,000,000 times. Those will not work. Your only options are sw headers, 4th and 5th gen stock manifolds, and 4th and 5th gen shorty headers.

edit: you can get 3rd gen sbc hearders and mod them with ls header flanges.

Re: Will these fit?

im in the same boat with ya. Im going to be using stock f body manifolds for now. I plan on buying some long tube sbc headers for my car and getting some ls1 flanges and start hacking them up.
