Default Long tube headers for LS swap in 52 Chevy?

I am currently shopping for headers to go on my 5.3 motor that I'm swapping into a 52 Chevy Car. The frame rails are pretty tight so my options are very limited.

Most people I've seen use a "shorty" or "block hugger" style, but I was wondering if anyone has run "long tube" style headers? I found the set pictured below that look like they will clear the frame rail and go down right where the frame starts to widen out... any one have any experience to share?

Thanks in advance!

These are from Stainless Works and are made for 67-69 Camaros

I'd like to know the answer to that too. I have a 6.0 that I'm putting into a 52 2 door sedan.

I never got an answer so I went with some block huggers...
