Default LG Headers: Swap from an LS7 to LS1?

Can this be done? My Uncle has a 07 Z that he is selling and is probally going to put the stock manifolds back on will his Longtubes fit to my LS1? I looked on LG's website and they are both 1.75 primaries and 3 in collectors? Whats the verdict?

Depends on how this is done.

Generally speaking, no you can not take C6 headers and use those on a C5. The main issue is the different bellhousings and how they fit around it. The other issue is the wheel base difference and the muffler connections.

If you dropped an LS7 and used the C6 bellhousing, the headers would work but the remainder would not.
