not sure what you are asking. there aren't any other motors that have the same bolt pattern or spacing if that is what you are asking. If you are asking if you can use headers from another vehicle that was a factory GenIII motor then they will share the same pattern but fitment in your application is going to be trial and error.

Actually small block Fords and big block Chevies have very similar if not exact prot spacing but you have to cut and weld LS1 flnages on. There are postings about this subject here.

Which year Corvette? Off the shelf headers? Probably not without some "customizing".
