Default LT1 Headers on an LS1?

I have a pair of Pacesetter LT headers for sale, They are for a 94 LT1 Firebird with EGR. A LS1Tech member is interested in them, but he has 98 LS1 Camaro. Will the headers fit on his car or not.

nope. the primaries aren't even the right shape. you have a better chance of being struck dead by a meteor than getting LT1 headers to work on an LS1

Not compatible. LT1 is basically SBC. It is not the primaries that are different. the flange is.

that's not what i meant. it's that the ports are a different shape. i believe the LT1 has a square-shaped port where the LS1's port is round.

it doesn't make any difference it wont work, not only are the ports on an LT1 D shaped but they are also spaced differently, you guys were both right i dont really see the need to argue with orangepeel about it

The LT1 and LS1 are 2 totally different shapes all together..
