Probably not real easily, because the SBC exhaust flanges are:

0--00--0

shaped, where the LS1 exhaust flanges are

0-0-0-0

Shaped.

You'd have to rework the upper part of the header quite a bit. It can be done, I'm sure, but you'll have to do a fair amount of welding to do it.

i used my old big block headers for my car. but if you can cut and weld it is not a big deal. but thinking you will have to do that either way is cut and weld. it is not hard to do just time consuming
