Default lsx headers for a 1982 c10

anybody know what headers will fit an 82 c10 with an LSX motor? been looking around, but have not found any clear answers. some say the pacesetter 98-02 f-body headers work, and other say the collector hits the frame. thanks

Street and Performance did a swap on a 77' thats the same frame as a 82' I believe. They used factory manifolds but said they make headers for this swap.

"Jim wanted to update his ‘77 with an LS-1 to have the fuel efficiency, performance and dependability that the LS-1 offers. Jim wanted to use the factory exhaust manifolds. The drivers side manifold had ample room, the passenger side had to have some of the manifold ground away. S&P provides headers for this application. "

ive seen the s&p headers, i was trying to stay away from them, they are very expensive. also dont like the header collectors.

i have a set of 99-04 truck headers on my 85c10. the pass side fit with no problems. the driver side i had to clearance the frame some. the bottom flange of the frame, i had to cut about an inch off of it. i havnt had any issues with them.
