Headers for Vortec heads for '87 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm having a 383 with Vortec heads built for my '87 R10/C10. I'd like to utilize longtube headers (I know I need to weld in a o2 sensor) but am having a little problem trying to figure out if I need any special headers because of the Vortec heads.

At first I thought I would need "d-port" design headers but I'm not so sure anymore. Regular '87 longtube headers are cheaper but I found a good price through Summit on a set of Hedman's (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HED-69099/) for an '87 with D-port, but like I said, I don't know that I need those or if Vortec heads are actually even considered "d-port."

....any thoughts or experience?
