I defer to the real experts here, but the '81 is a "J" motor, which I'm 83% sure means the earlier headers would not fit.
Is this thing working? Is this thing on?

The header should fit without any problem, but with most sidewinders you will need to seriously redesign the rear brake pedal and will have to fabricate a muffler hanger.
