Yes.. some have used without any problem or mod's.. other have had done some mod's to the collector to repoint them correctly.

Got f-bodys on my 71 chevelle and I am very happy with the fit. Like bczee said the driver side points toward the outside of the car and is a little awkward. I have about 1/4" between the pass side and the frame. Driver side no problem. I do have my engine set very far back, if it moved up then you might have some issues with the lower control arm mount. Also I am using pacesetter off-road headers and the banged up tubes on the pass were already like that when I got them and have since been fixed (may also be part of the frame clearance). Heres some pics.

I'm also one of the folks using F-body headers on a '69 442 with a 6.0L.

You should be just fine with them...very easy to put in!
