Default any chance of f-body headers fitting truck?

just like it says...any chance at all? I have some 2" kooks headers that a friend had made for a different project but I was thinking about trying to use them if possible. Is there ANY way of it working out?

hmm the flanges will bolt up but theres no tellin where the pipes will go. im gona vote no but its worth a shot, you might be able to make them work but i doubt it. the clearance on these trucks with longtubes is very tight.

I figured the biggest problem would be the steering shaft. currently the truck has some mid length i think hamm headers so it might not be that bad, I'll pm quik and see what he has to say. thanks Random

the headers fit nice!!! i seen less clearance issues with these then truck headers

one my pics my one tube is bent but that wasnt needed at all. it was a mishap of a buddy of mine. but for the large primiary size of 2" you might hit the frame when motor torques. i have solid mounts so im not worried about that

pics are in a thread called " my current project"

What are the chances that they'll line up on an 02 1500 Z71?

im not sure of other brands of fbody headers but know mine fit. but you will need a Y pipe or true duals fab'd up. they will not bolt right up to your stock Y at all! unless you ahd some fabbing done
