Will These V6 Headers Fit My Car?

I have an 89 Camaro 2.8L V6. They came off a Monte Carlo but aren't they the same engines as mine? These are Monza Custom Headers and the people say will also fit Buicks and Blazers.....will they fit mine? Thanks, F-Bodeee

No those won't work. The center primary hooks to the head more right of center and those are left of center (Democratic headers - I crack my self up) Heres a pic of 60*V6 Camaro headers from Hooker & Heddman. (Hookers are in the front of the pic)

I don't know what else to tell you- I discribed why they are different and even posted a picture of my two sets that will work on 60*v6 F-bodies 82-92 automatics for comparison. If you study the picture you will clearly see that the offset of the center tube of the three tubes that bolt to the motor is to the wrong side- They will not work, those are designed for a different motor- quite possibly a 90*V6 which is not interchangable.

Here's a pic of the left side Hedmann for better comparison of the center primary offset.

They won't fit. Period. Do your research. The monte carlo came with a 4.3l ***90*** degree V6

No, I'm not looking to sell either set right now. I'm having a thrid custom set made for the street right now and I want to hang on to both of these set for awhile until I figure out what kind of power and reliability I can get out of a 3.4 V6- I may decide to build an all out race motor for kicks and run a set of these open on it sometime in the future. It took me a few years of trying to aquire the sets I have- they are not made anymore and the only guys making street headers (y-pipe style) currently are PFE up top in the sticky.
