ive seen a few MAKE them fit. cutting and welding is a must. no direct bolt in.

hawks/stainless works headers are about the only option if you have a factory k member. a tubular k member will open up a few options, from what ive read. still have to modify.

thats because, if you want clearance, you need a trans crossmember that looks something like this:
