Default Fbody headers and C5 oil pan(batwing)

Anyone running fbody headers and a c5 oil pan? What headers are you guys running with the C5 Batwing? Im almost positive the fbody headers will fit, but I want to make sure.

So one is saying they are a no go and the other is saying yes. What brands are you guys running. Maybe thats the difference.

Anyone else want to chime in? Still trying to get more of a definitive answer. I have messaged several of the header manufacturers to see if they could lend a hand.

For future reference, Hooker fbody headers(2469-2HKR) WILL FIT the batwing c5 oil pan!!!! I man'd up and got a set of the stainless steel headers. They are friggin great! Im gonna have the egr etc. removed and tig welded back up. Thanks to lsxyj for pm-ing me back and forth with help deciding. If anyone in the future is doing a search and comes across this, I will be glad to shoot you any measurements or pics.

p.s. My application is a 5.3lm4 in a 76 vette.
