Default Will these headers fit?

I found a good deal on some used headers from a '93 and i'm wondering if they will fit ok on my '95. They are BBK shortys. Will it mess up anything for emissions? Thanks!

They will bolt up to the block no problem. Not sure if they will bolt up to your y-pipe though.

If I were you, I wouldn't waste my time with shorty headers and I'd get a set of LT's.

People have put the SLP shorties on and gained almost nothing, and that's with a 1 3/4 inch primary. The BBK's are 1 5/8 and to me don't have as good of a design as the SLP's. You're best bet and smartest bet is to go with a set of 1 3/4 inch longtubes. The stainless LPP's are going to be out soon. Wait and get a set of those.

With the longtubes you can get a y pipe with it. If you want to stay emissions legal you need to have cats put in. All in all if you take that route it can get pricey but it's worth it.
