Default LE3 headers?

Can headers for a stock LT1 be used with the LE3 heads? I want to do what I can now while I am driving the car daily and when I buy another car for DD I will be using the LE3 package. I don't want to waste money on headers if they won't work.

considering the bolt holes are still in the same place, yes you can use any header for an LT1

I think he meant is there any chance that a header port would be smaller than an exhaust port on an LE3 head.

That's exactly what I meant. My first guess is that would be true, but I am not that familiar with that conversion, I have just heard good things about the quality of the parts and no bullshit about the power gains.

Let's put it this way, I've never heard it brought up before.

Lloyd doesnt believe in port matching. So you will not have a problem with the header primaries being to small.

1 3/4 Primaries are pretty damn big compared to the Exhaust port..
