Will the headers off of a s10 v8 swap kit fit the v8 vega?

I doubt they will, as i have tried them in my 83 Toyota pickup(350 swap) and they hit the frame which has alot more room then a Vega does.

I can answer that Monza manifolds Don't fit the S10 with a V8 Swap. We tried them on my nephews '86 S10 and the dump aimed straight at something? don't remember what (2 years ago), so if I had to guess I would say that probably not the other way either. Harry

Headers are very specific when it comes to these cars. Even ones designed for H bodies are very tight and sometimes require "adjustments". I would seriously doubt they would fit.

No they will not....Sanderson CC13 is what you'll need and then there will be a decision of "ceramic or not, what type of ports, fast burn heads or regular ports....and so on
and you'll need to in stall the steering rod through the tubes....have fun, I'm doing this as well.... :lol: :th:

You can also do Hooker 2135 long tube headers, they are pricey though.
