They should fit.

Yes. Frames are the same, and you're putting in an SBC 😀 Just make sure you have the correct motor mounts & have 'em in the right spot.

Call & make sure with the company you're buying them from that the headers will fit. I have flowtech afterburners built for a sbc in a g body swap, but they have about 1/8-1/4" of clearance on the passenger side at the upper A arm. The back of the headers were tight too, also ask if they'll fit with the stock a/c & heater box.

I agree 100%. Bought the same headers, driver side fit great but the passenger side needed some massaging. Get some header gaskets from your local parts store. Try to get Mr. Gasket ones with the two hooks on the ends to make installation a ton easier.

You can get stock SBC manifold gaskets and they do the job beautifully. I've always used them on the heads. Also, it is wise to invest in a set of the soft aluminum collector gaskets.

I didn't have to do any massaging to my headers to get them to fit, they went right in. Passenger's side went in from the top. So far the easiest I've found for the driver's side is to jack the car up enough for lots of room, remove the oil filter, and slide the header in from the bottom.

They will fit as surely as your caps lock button can be used to type a question that appears intelligent and not like some ill-educated texter who does not understand proper forum etiquette. How well they will fit will depend on the motor mounts used, and the time and effort the company producing them put forth before entering production. If you use stock mounts, a good set of name brand headers will fit the chassis adequately. The problems arise when using larger tube headers and stock starters, aftermarket motor mounts and other less street oriented combinations of parts. As you did not specify the intended use of the vehicle in question, nor the engine's specifications, it will be difficult to give a specific recommendation that is well suited to your needs.
