LS1 Headers Going on an LT1?

Well I was talking to the guy Im buying my headers from and he said that they were long tubes for a LS1. He said that they will bolt right up to a LT1 I had never heard this but then again I havent heard a lot of things. So will they bolt up easily or will a little worke need to be done or will they not go on at all????

Thanks

Re: LS1 Headers Going on an LT1?

they will not fit worth a crap. the headers tubes are in completely different spots. LT1s are basic small block design with 2 tubes in the center right next to each other, because of the exhaust/intake setup. LS1s are all individual tubes spaced apart evenly. thats just bolting to the block, i dont know how they would fit with the subframe/firewall and whatnot. totally will not work at all.

The headers differ greatly between the two starting with the actual port shape.

No way it will ever work. He is either wrong, or a ripoff.
