Does anyone know if they'll bolt up to my 3.6 heads just fine?

I'm thinking I could even get replacement cabinets flex tubes (whatever they're called) to reach the 993's to get some heat back in my car! I live in Colorado- it's a tough winter hear this season and the car's not getting as much road time that i would like because it just never warms up in the cabin. The left pic vs. the right pic- pretty different- but it seems the left would solve my problem if I can get my shop to customize the connection- Edit- I can't get the pics to load for some reason...

Thru 964 all the headers are bolt on compatible, the 993 uses headers which have the passenger side flanges rotated 90 wrt the older design. That said 993 also have heads w/ threaded positions for both 993 and older style flanges
