Default Best 1 7/8" header for 1st Gen camaro. 4l80e trans?

Installing an lsx into my 69 Camaro. Been looking at all the headers and can't decide. Looking for 1 7\8 inch tubes with the stock subframe. My mounts are adjustable so I can move it around to make them fit. Which brand fit best without pipe issues? I don't like the ones I've seen with #3 cylinder tube going up and over seems like there would be plug wire issues. Also was wondering if anyone makes a trans crossmember for the 4l80e? Thanks for any help!

The Hooker 2276HKR 1-7/8" headers fit nicely with a 4L80 Frank and the new Hooker 4L80 1st-gen crossmember will be available any day now as soon as they get boxed up for shipping.

Unfortunately they aren't compatible with any engine mounts other than the Hooker 12618HKR clamshell retrofit brackets as they are bent to accommodate the unique geometry of these brackets and the lower installed engine height that results from their use.

Frank G,
I hope you will start a build thread VERY SOON. Remember to go nuts on posting pics too.
