Headers for BP-H8002K

[longshot67]

I have a '67 C10 with a Blueprint Engine 383. It has Blueprint's heads (H8002k).

Backstory...

For weeks I have researched what I wanted and reached out to Holley about their Hooker high-flow manifolds (8525-3HKR). I asked them if they would fit my application because I have seen a lot of conversation about the motor mount getting in the way. Holley said they would fit as long as I am running aftermarket motor mounts... which I am... CPP-6272MP.

I ordered the manifolds and finally got a chance today to bolt them on. They fit really well.

However, there is not enough room to get all of the spark plugs in and for the couple of spark plugs that I did manage to get installed, there is no room for the spark plug wire boot.

I called Holley back and they seemed shocked to learn that Blueprint raised the ports on their heads. Holley said they don't sell anything that will fit Blueprint's raised port heads and that they are going to put a disclaimer on their website due to this "new" information.

I called Blueprint and they said that there are 4 companies that they have worked with that make headers just for their heads. Holley/Hooker is not one of them.

My question...

Is anyone running these Blueprint's heads with manifolds or headers on a 2nd gen that you like? I don't mind going with one of the companies that Blueprint recommends but I want to see what you guys are running first.

ALL of the options that Blueprint recommends cost a lot more than the $360 Hooker Manifolds and they are about six weeks out for manufacturing and shipping.
