Default Will long tubes fit?

I posted this question a couple of weeks ago and no body responded, so im going to try this again. Next week i am buying a gt-40 motor that has been worked a little bit and it has long tube headers. The motor is in a fox body so its got the fox body set up such as intake and throttle body, unlike mine with the elbow and everything. I want to know if those headers which are for the fox body will fit into my 94 GT. he has all the EGR stuff blocked off on the motor and i thought that maybe the only reason they had 2 different part numbers between the fox style and the sn95 style was because of the EGR. Thanks for the help

They will fit dude, you have to lift the engine a bit to get them in there, I just put some on my stang about a week ago, I had to do minor grinding to stop a rattle but other than that it was all good. Then I got the rest custom made out the back.

man if you have the extra cash, put a tubular front end under it, than any header fits with a ton of room. its worth every penny

Yeah thats what im going to do because i am going to be pulling the stock motor and doing some work and getting things ready and i want to get the K member to loose some weight. I was looking at the tubular A arms too and those things are almost more than the K member its self. But i hope to have everything ready to go next spring once the weather starts getting nice again. im in no hurry and im going to let it sit this winter like usuall. so it should be fun. Thanks for the replys. i just wasnt sure if there was much different between the 89-93 headers and the 94-95 headers. But sounds like with a K member on there it should fit. thanks guys
