C5 headers work?

[autonaut]

So,. Most people use fbody headers when swspping on a budget. Or so i've read!

But how about corvette c5 longtubes?

The reason i ask is because im about ready to do a swap, and the engine is fitted with a batwing c5 oil pan. Some say fbody headers will still work.

But wouldnt c5 headers do too? I figure they must be the best fitment possible? Or are they angled differently due to the transaxle design?

What do you think?

If you had them super cheap (or free) try them.

Otherwise get 4th gen f body ones and do the slight mods i outlined here.

Well.. Should have just googled it! If i had done so i would have noticed the c5 headers have an angle that makes them useless unless you're running a transaxle setup like the corvette!
