Default What style of exhaust manifold will fit the 1st gen B-body?

I have a friend that just picked up a 69 Firebird. The engine has some 3 tube headers on it and he want to go back to stock manifolds. What type will fit this chassis? Will ones from a 68-72 Lemans-GTO work?

You do mean F-body, right?

On the passenger side the rear-dump GTO/Lemans manifold fits/interchanges.

The '67 -'69 F-body driver's side uses a center-dump exhaust manifold, the GTO/Lemans manifold won't fit. The center-dump driver's manifolds are also used on some '60s big Pontiacs (B-body) and '69-'70 Grand Prix (G-body).

Yeah....

Thank for the info. That's what I thought worked but just couldn't remember for sure.
