Long tubes are a pain in the ass. Im sure you have good reason for switching right? Ahem ..you left out a lot of details. I believe a major factor is automatic or manual trans..

Im gonna give your post a bump tbh im not really sure about a c4. I switched to long tubes last year and let me tell you, it was a game of inches!

I run them on an 89 stang with AOD trans and they fit, but it was kind of a wrestling match. Having a mini starter helps, i would venture to say its a must. Also, the brand i have is BBK i have heard people only having problem with MAC long tubes fitting.

Steering shaft comes out. At least in my application it did, so be ready for that.
