Seeking SBC Headers

I seek a pair of long-tube HEADERS for a 1969 Chevy 302 cubic inch engine (Z-28) in a 1955 Chevy Pickup, 2nd series, 3100 truck with ‘55 frame and cab, ’93 bed, a Monte Carlo clip (entire front from the firewall forward = suspension, power brakes, power steering, etc.), side engine mounts, TH700R4 auto transmission, dual exhaust.
Prefer 304 stainless or ceramic metallic coated headers, but these are not mandatory. Made of 18 gauge or thicker, 1.500” or 1.625” exhaust diameter tubing, 3.00” collector.
I have searched and searched and asked some manufacturers with no luck at all over the past several months. Help please before i get any older (73 in 7 more weeks).

Why won't SBC headers made for the Monte work?

X2 on 68NovaSS's comments. If the nose is a Monte Clip and the engine is in the same place as Monte had it, then your first concern will be getting around within that frame.

73,,, I feel your pain, try it where the rain is always cold. I live on Aleve, nitro glycerin, M&Ms and coffee. Something the youngsters have to look forward to.
