Default l98 headers on a lt1 i need a diffrnt answer

i have search the post about l98 headers on an lt1...first let me narrow my question down.....i dont care about emissions,clearance..etc...i just want to know if the d-port/square port is an issue???? i have l98 headers on my 77 c3 350 and i am installing a 92 lt1 in it soon...just want to know about the port design and can i use them without a performance issue.....once again just the square port vs the d-port info is all i need thanks

as long as the headers actually match and seal. Is there enough material to port them to match closer?

They will bolt on yes, but if the headers are D-port and the heads are square then you would be restricting flow. If the heads are d-port then I dont see any issues.

yes they might fit, but the point of headers is more air flow, unless you are dumping the car.
