Default ls7 in 70 Chevelle headers

I need 1 7/8 or 2 inch headers for my Chevelle swap, I called American Racing to ask if my dirty dingo mounts would work with there 2 inch swap headers, the guy
Talked to me like a total dick! I had my credit card in my damn hand!, any suggestions on quality headers, full length? I would like stainless or quality coated,
I have heard real good things about american headers, but if I'm going to spend $1150, nobody is going to talk ******* to me, that's a bunch of money in my world, ain't trying to be petty, just kinda put out by it.

Yeah I'm still collecting parts, I wish I would have waited on ls swap until I had bugs worked out on the frame off. Almost have my aeromotive tank and fuel system ran. Also working on brakes steering and the fuel at the same time. I have a lot on my plate, I'm going to be envious of your ls7 build. But looking forward to seeing your build.
