Default Fox Body Swap Headers

I've searched every way I can think of with no results for feedback on the Speed Enginnering stainless swap headers for fox bodies. I'm trying to find if anyone has used them with a Team Z K-member. Below is a link to them on eBay. Not looking for opinions on quality, just personal experience with fitment.

How about do they make the Speed Engineering in a 2"-3.5 for a 89 Fox?

Wonder if they clear a 4L80? I asked him on Ebay, I'll let everyone know if they reply.

"Thank you for your interest. You know I dont think we have tried these specific headers on a 4L80E. I would say yes, if anything the ears would need to be trimmed off the bellhousing. Which, is pretty standard for most headers on the market and the 4L80E.

Thanks
Sean"

If they didn't mock-up the car with a 4L80 to test the fitment, I would take that report with a grain of salt until someone lines up to be a guinea pig and actually do an install. 4L80 compatibility in a Fox Body is far more demanding than just dealing with the constraints imposed by protruding bellhousing ears. The ability to connect and operate a shifter cable without frying it requires far more up-front consideration than the bellhousing.
