But if the fit is way off, I might have to wait on the 1 7/8 Thorley headers.

Wonder why they made them so small (1 5/8") to start with?

Jim are those f body headers?

Yeah, the 98-02 style. They look like they might fit from the pics, except maybe the passenger side collector area.

It shouldn't be too long and I'll be ordering a set.

Jim The only problem w/ f body headers is one of the collectors doesnt exit straight or parallel w/ the other.I know guys have made them fit though w/ clearencing the frame etc.. Their just not for me. The reason they made the DT's in 1&5/8 is everone was using 5.3's & the 6.0 was in it's first or second year.The Ls platform caught on so fast nobody anticipated it. Within 2 years their building 454 small blocks who would of thought it!
