Default TSP Headers in a G body

Has anyone seen or heard of the Texas speed long tube headers foe their fitment on a g body? The headers look similar to the pacesetters for the fbody so I'm curious as to if they would fit or not. 500 bux for a set of long tubes that are stainless steel isn't bad at all...just the fitment is an unknown and I do not want to chance them not fitting at all!

Do you have a part # for the moroso mounts? How is the clearance on the passenger side frame rail? Pics would be awesome.

I plan to run the 1 inch set back plates, do the moroso mounts keep the motor in stock position or do they move it back as well? And hows the fitment overall?

Yea hammering or denting is nothing that I am afraid of it was cutting or notching that I want to stay away from. Not bad for stainless long tubes too at a 400 dollar ring.
