What brand are they?....But there shouldnt be any reason for them to not fit...Unless there not for an 87 MonteCarlo...
Headers are NOT a universal fit item.....
What are they from?
Otherwise....They WONT fit....

 

Since the BBC was not an engine option in '87 it's doubtful that the 1st Gen headers will be a bolt in installation. You may get lucky, but the only way you'll know for sure if they'll fit or not is to do a mock up. Someone might offer custom headers for a BBC swap, but I didn't find any for an '87 Monte Carlo in the quick search I did. You may end up having to alter the routing of the 1st Gen headers or have some custom ones made. But I don't know if that will work into your budget...

 

They do make BBC swap headers for 4th gens.I'll have to spend some time looking for them though.
I'd be worried about the rear end in that with a 454 it's not the strongest

 

Well where the start is the camaro header fits perfectly it doesnt rub or anything but on the other side it hits on the frame not letting it line up on the motor so i would like to know if i can either heat up and bang one of the tubes a lil so it can fit or is there another way that it can be made to go around the frame and connect on to the motor?

 

I honestly dont know what brand they are.Most likely they are stock camaro headers. My friend picked them up at a swap meet and he isnt using them any more so i thought i would give them a shot

 

Well like i said in my replay i got the passenger side where the start is to fit right in perfectly i mean i rubs on the start but ill either and header wrap or and plate to cover the start but most likely to but a smaller starter.(sorry im new to this im getting use to replaying and stuff )

 

I have another rear that im building up little by little its a 8inch rear out of a cutlass olds 442 80's style and im either planing to put 3.73 or 4.11's

 

The part number for the big block headers are hooker 2241, You have to use solid motor mounts or trim the factory one on the driver side. A short oil filter and you may have to move brake lines, You can find them used but usually not incredibly cheap another option is the hooker 2245 which are first gen headers but you need to make a decent amount of modification to the headers for them to work as well as solid mounts and a remote oil filter.

Any other questions Shoot me a pm.
