soo building a nitrous 5.3 fox and wondering if ls1 camaro longtubes can be made to fit?
also in order to use a th350 i just need to enlarge the holes in the flexplate right and do i need to use a spacer for the pilot on the torque convertor?

I can't say for sure what will fit your application, but for me, I knew a certain set would fit the car, and I carefully overlaid a picture of an LS1 (Camaro) header overtop of the header I knew would fit, and the angle at the bottom was way off. There was no way I was risking it not fitting, so I went with the more expensive headers.
I have personally held an LS gasket up tp a Ford small block header, and they are VERY close. New LS flanges welded up would certainly work for you if you can't find LS swap headers within your budget.
