I have a set of Mopar headers that I used on my 98 5.2 that were made for a 97 and
they fit perfectly. 97 and 98 and 99 all the same. BUT 96 back is a completely
different truck but the 5.2 l engine is the same since 93 I think. I am not clear
on where the problem was. Did the fit the heads OK and hit something on the
body? Also many use the JBA headers and they seem to fit OK. Hope I was some
help.
