angle plug headers

I need a set of header that will fit angle plug heads, although they are not going on a 73-87 pick up but they are the headers that fit my 63 Chevy II gasser. I have changes engines and went from straight to angle plug heads and they no longer work. The engine is a 69 327 with trick flow G1 heads, and a Lunati 292 Bracket master cam, so I'd like 1 5/8 LONG tube header, my Internet searches have come up fairly blank.
Thanks

Re: angle plugh headers

I use Chevelle headers. They have a tight fit for my ZZ4 L98 angled plug Corvette heads. Look for Corvette headers.

Re: angle plug headers

The heads are D shaped.

Older Chevelle or Corvette heads may not be D ported.

Re: angle plug headers

Hooker Super Comps fit just fine on my 66 chevy II, with angle plug Darts. I run chassis headers, and my brother runs Hooker Super comp "fenderwell" headers. both clear the angle plugs fine.

I was kinda hoping not to spend $500 on a set of headers but after all I have spent so far what is another 500 right, and fenderwells would be the way to go.
