Default Headers for G-bodies

Does anyone know if a set of headers for a 69-72 A-body (chevelle etc) with an LSX work in a G-body w/ an LSX?

I put a 383 chevy in my first car, an '81 cutlass.

Don't remember anything about where I got the headers though.

They can help --> http://www.turbobuicks.com/forums/index.php

Hell, I didn't read that very well. Didn't notice that you were talking about an LSx instead of old school.

I would guess no, but if you already have them you could try them.

Maybe with some massaging otherwise the manufacturer would advertise that they do fit.

they will fit with a little bending. the collector on the drivers side will interfere with the shift linkage if you run a 4l60. thats the problem i have right now. the passenger side header fits almost perfect just a little close to the floor pan. the drivers collector has to be pulled down before it will even bolt up. but no tubes have been cut. YET!

Not to hijack but my brother is doing an LQ4 into his Buick Regal and I was wondering if he could use the S10 2.8 frame pads and the LS1 engine mounts like I have on my setup for my S10? The frount ends are practically identical suspension wise.

Thanks
