Help With Headers

Probably not. Below is a long-winded explanation as to why this is the case.
Based on my experience, the only difference between fox and sn95 5.0 headers is in the driver side header. This is because the clutch fork on a fox 5.0 is at about the 9 o'clock position while the sn95 5.0 clutch fork is closer to 7 o'clock. If you try to use fox headers on an sn95, the will hit the clutch fork dust shield. I can't say for sure if sn95 headers will hit the dust shield on a fox, but it's a distinct possibility as the primary tubes are routed differently to accommodate the difference in clutch fork position.
Then again, different manufacturers route the primary tubes in different ways. There is a possibility they may work with your setup. Only way to know for sure is to try them out.
Here's a picture of MAC long tubes installed on an sn95 5.0 to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

You will probably have clearance issues with the steering shaft and/or hitting the K member on the passenger side. You have one of two options- sell them and get the correct fox body LT headers or try and make them work. You will also need to cap off the EGR bung.
The egr is already caped of. And the guy said he took them of a 87 gt .. so i didt even question him my falt on my side when i came home and looked for them online. I saw they were for a sn95 has any ever done this i know i cnt get another set up this cheaP if theres any re welding or re routing willing to do any feed back welcome
