Default lQ4 install into mustang ii crossmember header/steering shaft fitment

I was looking for somebody with experience dropping a lsx into a full frame vehicle with a mustang ii front suspension setup. I have a 50 Studebaker pickup with a fatman fab mustang ii kit installed and am ready to start fitting the engine and tranny into the chassis. I am running an lq4 w/4l80e. My main questions are:

1.) Any suggestions for exhaust manifolds or headers. I was looking at using LS7 manifolds due to block hugging design and great flow, but am concerned about steering shaft clearance due to the front mounted steering rack.

2.) I was looking for pics of anybody with a lsx in a mustang ii front steer setup to see their steering shaft routing and header brand.

Thanks.

Here's a (build) pic of my Maverick with RCM front clip rack & pinion with adapted BBK Ford 351 swap headers.



And the same pic minus the headers:
