Default Headers For 79 T/A?

I'm running a 6.0L LQ9 in my 79 T/A and am wondering what headers fit the best or what some of you guys have done.

Thanks

I have a set of FLP headers from a 01 f-body and a set of pacesetter headers w/o emission tubes from a 98-02 f-body. Both fit with some modifications. I am selling the FLP headers. If you are interested, they are in Montgomery, IL and you can see them installed on a 78 trans am.

Edelbrock makes a set of Stainless headers with slip fit collectors. They are recommended for 2nd gen F-bodies. The tubes clear and you can angle the collectors to line up with the pipes. Summit sells them for $409. p/n EDL-65703.

I am using 4th gen dynatech drag race headers. Slip on collectors. The drivers side collector pointed right into the frame so I had a friend cut it and
weld about a 30 degree bend on it. Now they fit fine.
