I finished my header install tonight. It looks like those should fit. If you have doubts, pull the driver side manifold and compare to what you have there, it's really easy to get the driver side out from the top.

Thanks for asking, my headers are done, unfortunately my exhaust is rotten, but I think I'll patch it for now and replace it down the road. Other than that ive got some oil leaks to fix, do a little tune up, and then onto the $7 lowering kit, haha! I hope your header install is going good! One tip, get a LOT of different adapters and wrenches in the 5/8" size for spark plug installation, you'll need them!

Get one of the new magnet-based spark plug sockets, world of difference to remove!
