If you mean after doing an LS1 swap, maybe. Looks like the outlet would be close to the steering cross bar.

Re: should these manifolds fit a third gen

if using them as a turbo manifold facing forward, looks like on the drivers side they would dump into the steering gear box

Yes i mean after the swap, lol. I've got a lq4 going in. I know some have done it with 6.0 manifolds. just wasnt sure about what position the v-bands needed welded on to fit.

Re: should these manifolds fit a third gen

Did you miss the part about hitting the steering box with down-facing? You're going to be hard-pressed to find anything other than straight forward or top-mount manifolds that will fit. Or make your own.
