Did you put your stock manifolds back on because if you did and they work fine then ls1 headers should work fine. plus i think that ls2 heads are ls1 ported with a higher compression.

The LS2 heads are the same 243 casting heads on the 03-04 C5 ZO6 corvettes. The header bolt pattern are the same as the LS1 F-bodies. But make sure that the headers you get is for a F-body and not a vette and they will bolt right on.

He may have a 'vette/GTO though lol, gotta love it when people post lots of information for us.

LS2 heads = LS6 heads. Bolt pattern/location is exactly the same. 6.0l, 5.3l, 4.8l, LSx heads all have the same exhaust setup.
