88 headers fit 98 of the same year?

Hey all! Almost ready to put the newly rebuilt 455 back in our '71 98 2-door. We'd like to replace the stock manifolds with headers but of course no one lists them for the 98. Hedman makes them for the '71 88 - would they fit? Don't know much about the '88 but it sure looks like the same car from the doors forward! Thanks in advance for your responses...

I see no reason why they would not fit......pretty much the same car up front and frame.

The 88 and 98 are mechanically identical from the firewall forward. In fact, the main difference between the two is the wheelbase, and all of that difference is in the passenger compartment, so yes, they will fit.
