Default 63 Chevy II Header Question

Does anyone out there know of an off the shelf set of headers that will with with an LS1 in a 1963 Chevy II. I have some headers on here now but I am looking for some long tubes that will work without major surgery. My other option is to have a local guy build me a set for $1500 or so. I would like to avoid that if at all possible! Let me know what everyone thinks.

BTW - the car does have a heidts mustang two front end.

Thanks!!

I have a set of hooker super comp shorties on my 63 chevy II with a tci front end and I have a ton of room but as far as long tubes I am interested to see if anyone chimes in.

Someone on here said that an F-body header will not fit, (conflect with the fire wall I guess). Haven't tried it myself yet. I will borrow a set to see if they fit when I get the engine installed in my 64'. I'm not going to pay $1500.00 to have someone build a set. I'll build them myself if I have too.
