Truck exhaust manifolds fit B-body?

Will the truck exhaust manifolds fit when installing the engine in a B-body? (Chevy Caprice 77-96)

Engine is coming from a '04 Chevy Express..

I didn't have much luck with the truck manifolds. They are too wide and won't fit in the frame. F-body manifolds work better.

I have a 65 Impala and the truck manifolds hit the steering box. 67-69 Camaro LS swap headers from Dynatech fit in there great, but they do hang a little low

The truck manifolds were too wide for my Chevelle frame until I cut the flanges off and welded vbands to them. The left one I had to angle the vband toward the engine some, but they worked superbly!
