Default 1964 Ford Falcon LS3-----Headers?

I just put the carbureted LS 3 in my 1964 Ford Falcon. Has anyone done this swap? If so, what headers should I use. I picked up S&P LS Nova headers, but the passenger side collector flange is hitting the frame rail.

Kooks makes custom headers on LS3/L92 engines. Great quality products!

sbf exhaust port spacing is similar to ls1. just cut off some header tubes for a sbf in your car and weld them to ls1 flanges.

Do you think these would work? They are made to fit early nova stock suspension and are tighter to the block than any other on the market.
