Default An Exhausting Question!

I posted this in the newbee tech then realized it belonged here!

It's been a while since I've been on here and finally got going on my '69 Camaro, "Time Warped". I started the build back in December and below is a pic of where I'm at today, Wayne Due sub-frame and '01 LS1/T-56 (actually a LS6 block!).
My question is actually two wrapped into one; I want to use C5 Corvette exhaust manifolds but that would involve a fairly complicated steering shaft (all parts would be Borgeson) that would extend the column using a stabilizer bearing and then two double u-joints to stay in front of the manifold. The tech guy at Borgeson said it would work but would I be better off going to either F-body manifolds and converters (already on hand and my budget is getting thin) that would simplify the steering shaft and cut it's cost in half, or go to headers which would still involve a more complicated steering shaft?



Here is a link to the build to date. http://s287.photobucket.com/albums/l...Time%20Warped/
