Default Will C5 manifolds fit an F-body turned forward?

This question is out of laziness (dont feel like going out to check). I have truck manifolds on my 99 Transam now and taking that kit off and building a new setup. I have the old manifolds off my C5 which are welded steel. They kind of drop down more in the middle versus the end on the truck ones. Anyone know if they will fit the chassis on an f-body? If they'd work i'd cut the flanges off and weld v-bands on them.

I know c6 manifolds fit but I'm not sure of the difference between the two. I'm assuming if they're the same then they should work.

not sure if the C5 manifolds work on a front mount..... my C5 manifolds kinda face down....i would guess at a 60+ degree angle or so facing down. Best of luck

I've heard that they don't fit in a flipped orientation. I remember Kurt Urban talking about their early testing and how much he liked the C5 manifolds flow over the truck manifolds but they wouldn't fit an F-body.
