Have you checked Summit house brand headers? They fit my 68 great but I had a big block PS you have heads with raised ports?

A smallblock is easy. A big block can be a nightmare !
My favorite is Hedman. You didn't say how much you've hot-rodded it ? 1-5/8 tubes are fine for a mild street motor.
If you are over 400 hp, go with 1-3/4 tubes.

I used Hedman long tube 1 5/8 headers on my small black 67. Fit really well no hammer needed for clearancing.

As Beth stated and I'm a huge fan of Headmans and that's what I run. Do yourself a favor and get the "Ball and Socket" flange for the exhaust pipes.

 

[Shovelrick]

Yep ball & socket, I'm trying to figure how to raise my exh higher and with the 3 bolt type I think I'll need to figure a way to bend the headers

 

[kmakar]

Ball and socket are the only way to go.
