I have an 87 El Camino with the 262 4.3L V6, I know someone willing to give a great deal on a set of headers but the headers came off an S-10 but with a 4.3, my question is will the headers from the s-10 fit the Camino no problem?

I don't think anyone has tried them, so I doubt you are gonna get the answer you are looking for. S10's and g bodies have the same architecture so they should fit. Now if you were trying to use s10 V8 swap headers I would say no, because most of them are set up for the V8 swap motor mounts which usually offset the motor towards the passenger side. I can't believe that no one makes headers for a 4.3 in a g body?

Did you ever get the headers and did they work? I have an 81 Elcamino with a 3.8L and the 4.3L headers will work for them, I just was not sure about the frame architecture to see if they will actually clear everything in the Elcamino.
