Will regular SBC headers fit on an LT1/LT4?

Will regular old SBC headers fit on the LT1 or LT4 heads, or is there a special header made for LT1/4s?
I already have a set of Thorley's that were on my original TBI, now they are on my TPI motor in my truck, and may be getting an LT1 or LT4 in the future.
Thanks

Ports may certainly fit, but will it fit the body/firewall is another question. Then once you figure that out, you can figure out who to go to for your custom Y pipe or dual exaust setup.

So, reading the above post, he used his headers made for his car, the LT1 head is not so inique that the headers wont physically fit the head, its a body line/routing/transmission setup issue.

Yep, thats exactly what I had in mind, already have the headers and Y-pipe in there on the TPI motor.
