Default Headers for LT1

Can I use headers from a 1986 Vette for my 93 LT1? I know I would have to weld the O2 bungs but would I have any clearance issues or any other issues?

TIA

I have a set of headers designed for LT1 on my '89 L98?

That's not exactly the answer your looking for, but better than nothing?

I think lt1 will go to l98 but not the other way around for some reason, but I can't remember right now
BUMP for a better answer

I know people have done it, but I don't know what, if anything, was required to make it work.

I used hooker 2149 on my 92,however the AIR pipe is facing the opposite direction,so you will need to rig something up.I don't have a pic of mine,it looks frankensteinish but it works and passes visual inspection,or if emissions does not matter go with the 2151,or pony up more $ for proper lt1 headers.However i see the hookers are over $600 nowabout $150 more than what I paid a few years ago.
P.S I am not sure if they work with an auto,in case that is what you have.

I can pickup a set for $125, its the long tube one. No emmisions where I am so I am not worried about it!! How can I tell if they are hookers or any brand for that matter?

Thanks for all the replys guys
