They should no problem. Unless they are the ones that have a separate flange for each tube. Those sometimes are a pain to put on but, they will go with some manhandling.

The only issue most run into with equal length shorties is that they tend to hit the steering shaft.

not after you hit them with a ball pin hammer......I put bbk equals on an 89 that didn't have that problem. This car did have a tubular k-member though.
