18* headers on LT1

is there anyway they will bolt right on and operate.
forgive my noobness. not sure what * is when referenced to engines. im assuming the exit angle of the exhaust i.e. special heads.

anyways.
I have an LT1 motor. carb conversion. motor will be in rat s10.
I want also to flip the headers to run more of a custom route

question. will they bolt on? will it flow decent? how can I make it work?

found headers dirty cheap local. $35

18 degree headers for 18 degree heads. Do you mean you want to flip the headers to wear the collector is facing up or forward?

18° means the valve angle of the cylinder head is 18°, stock LT1 heads are 23° along with most aftermarket ones.

For $35 it's worth trying

yes. I want to flip them and have them on the other sides. exhaust will come towards windshield and then out and down at bottom of fenders.

I had a Nissan d21 truck the headers (v6) were flappable and reversible.
heres the truck with motorcycle mufflers. they faced forwards but went to the back with mufflers
