I'd like to go this route if they'd fit my 71 Cutlass conv. Anybody know?

In my G8 - the engine is mounted kind of low - and it has a huge *** oil pan - 9.5 qts or something like that... makes for an expensive oil change.
I have SLP long tube headers on mine - and love the sound.
Can't really help you out fitting in an A-body though.

Any particular reason for the G8 header instead of an A-body header?
Kooks makes them for the a-body swap http://www.kookscustomheaders.com/show.php?pid=867

I chassis dyno'd the Vette and the G8 back to back...
Vette put down 375/374 and the G8 put down 360/370.
Not bad for stock tunes on both....

For anyone else looking, I found this dyno data on these installed here:

looks pretty good; not too far from LT power output and a fair amount better than other shorty headers.

Looking at the pic, that first tube on both sides - Cyl 1 and 2 - both look to be hanging too low and will hit the crossmember. You may be able to get away with a notch.
I am actually using 98-02 F body Pacesetters...I will have to redirect the drivers side slightly but they literally load in from the bottom with NO effort at all. Fits perfect in both cases.
