I'm going to hazard a guess and say 1983-1984 and older.  No, they do
not have to be from a diesel.

Yes.

Oh, you want to know why? :)

The exahust outlet off slightly to the side, not centered, and won't line 
up with your exhaust tunnel.

Not really.  You can get a nice one from Techtonics.

Yes, no.  See above.

The Euro output manifold used 10mm studs, while the US one used 8mm(?)
studs.  The downpipe flange obviously changes.  Otherwide they are the
same as far as I know.
