headres??
 
i take it knowone knows if they will fit eh?

they should be the same block no?

if they are the same block i think they should fit ok, you may have steering shaft clearance issues but im not for sure. Id say buy and try it. For only 50 bucks its a good deal, if they dont fit there is always ebay!!

headers?
 
do u think if i tryed to measure how far the stock ones come out by number 8 cylindor and them did the same to the other ones befor i buy them do think that would work and give me a better idea.

the blocks didn't change i just think space in side did?!

You can make the passenger side fit but there is no concievable way without cutting and re-welding the tubes to make them fit the drivers side. I tried it once because I didn't want to buy another set of headers for the only non-classic I have/had.

If you can afford $50.00 headers, why not save $40.00 more and buy a brand new set of headers that will fit your car?
$90.00 long tubes from JEGS, 1 1/2" or 1 5/8"

headers?
 
yes but iam in canada and i dont think they ship ups out here??
and that would be almost 200.00 buy the time i got them which is not bad !! but.......

If you have a friend on this side, mail the money. Let the freind send it as a gift.

i agree with 88workcar, you best bet is new!! then you dont have to worry about clearance as much.

dont want to thread hijack but 88workcar- i notice you run moderate to high mod setup on speed density. id like to hit you up sometime on how you get your setup to work. or if you have explained it in a past thread point me to it. ill search for it in the mean time.

I cant help you but I can tell you that you wont know until you try. I had 302 long tubes on my 351w swap for a year before I bought 1-3/4 swap headers for it. Everyone said they wouldnt work.
