Hooker Headers 2455

Well after lots of reading and searching for my hew headers for BB lowered trucks, I went for the Chevelle Hooker Headers Part # 2455-1HKR they had been touted as a good fit for our trucks, and that they ran quite close to frame rail height for lowered trucks with a BB.
YES they ran close to frame rail height, but NO they do not fit, the passenger side has no issues, the drivers side was a no go, they hit the frame and are obstructed badly by the oil filter, I could have removed the filter, and cut a half moon out of the frame, but I still wouldn't have been able to reinstall my filter.
I live in the UK and have to go that extra mile to make sure that what I order is correct as there is absolutely no chance of returning an item, these $405 headers cost me $760 so this is exactly what I try so hard to avoid they're now up for sale, and I have to start looking again.
