Default Fox 351w swap LT's in a 95?

I am wanting to put LT's in my 95vert but no one that I've seen sell's LT 351w swap headers for anything but Fox's. I read somewhere that Fox 351swap LT's would fit the newer stangs like mine but I am hoping someone here can verify this for me before I spend $350+ for something that doesn't fit.
also, does anyone have a set of these used they would want to sell? if I can't find any used I will either go with BBK's or Mac's the Mac's are a few $$ cheaper but not much. any preference's between these two brands?
any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I don't about the swap headers but, I bought almost bought a set of 1-3/4 bbks that would not fit a 95 cobra. He claimed the 1-5/8 headers would.

I am wondering about the other way around. I found a set with h-pipe for 250 bucks but they are for a 94-95

Fox body longtubes will NOT work in an SN95. your only options are to go with Bassani 351W swap headers, or have a company like Kooks make you a pair.
its pricey yes, but if you wanna play...

i had Bassani's on my 357W. fit perfect 1 3/4 primaries and a 3" collector.

Ok, so is it worth the $$$$ to get the extra hp? my car never see's the track, it is just a weekend fun car. I have 2 main reasons for wanting to switch, #1 I love the sound of the LT's I have on my 91 5.0 notch & I think they would sound sick on my 393. #2 was for the extra low end power.I know I need better heads & cam but don't really want to tear into the motor anytime soon. Thanks for the input.

longtubes wont give you more low end torque, they help in the mid to upper rpm ranges. for the cost, its really up to you. if you dont REALLY care about some hp, leave it alone. if you HAVE to have the baddest ride around, spend the money. and dont forget its no only the headers but the mid pipe too.

Thanks for the input. Looks like I will just be content with my shorties.
