Default 1st gen F-body headers on 72 A-body

Hi all,

Would someone happen to now, or have tried 1st gen F-body headers on a A-body? Will the front tube hit the crossmember (after studied a whole lot of pictures, it seems like that can be the only potential issue, but there might be more)?

Looking at these for my 72 LeMans:

1st gen headers won't fit.

I'd get a set of 2nd gen/Abody/Xbody headers from Speed Engineering.

1 3/4"

You might get some good info in the Conversions & Hybrids Forum.

Thanks both of you. I really don't know why i posted the thread here, but anyways..

Think i'll go for the Speed Engineering headers, they look pretty decent, and they look like a "safe fit".
