Noob question from SouthFL. F-body LT's fit Y-body? I've never thought about it before, but do they? I've spent plenty of time under an F-body, but am a total noob with Y-bodies. Tried a search- no defnitive answer.
Part numbers from different manufacturers differ between the F and Y LT's.
'99 FRC build on the horizon.
Time to learn new things.
I'm asking this 'cause I like the Edelbrock Stepped LT's and they don't list them for Vettes.
*** EDIT:
C5 LT's seem to neck inward at the collector much more than F-bod LT's. Their primaries area also much longer before the collector. I know the question I ask may seem a little retarded, but it doesn't hurt to ask. A little fabbing of an X-pipe is no problem. If the actual header does not fit- that's another issue altogether not worth exploring.

None are available right now, but the product looks to be of high quality and design for the price.
PS. I know a 'lil about LT's (just not about Y-bodies).

Well, then just think about it practically. Is the firewall the same as a f-body? Is there as much ground clearance? Is there as much engine bay room? We all know the motors are basically the same but there are many other variables. Thats why I suggested using parts designed for your car. Some of the angles might not match, length on parts could differ. Unless you wanna waste money or start a total custom project stick to parts that you know will work.
P.S. - you will be better off not actin like a dick when people make suggestions.

Hey Big Mike, thanks for taking the time to answer my question. Your time is appreciated. Cheers.
And Dan, yeah, I had too many exhaust configurations on that car- that was hilarious.

Thanks again.
