Default Which Mild steel headers are good?

I am dropping a LQ9 in a 67 chevelle that has tons of clearance due to a modified floor and firewall etc. I also am not running any inner fenders PS Booster etc..
I am looking for 1 7/8" mild steel in case I need to cut and modify them.
They only need to last one season as I will be going turbo next winter, so I dont want to sink too much $ into them chasing that last 5 hp.However I hate exh leaks so I want good thick flanges.
Any recomendations?

Why not just throw a set of manifolds on and save the header $$$ for the turbo. Forced induction gets expensive quick.

eBay stainless headers! Best bang for the buck.

If LPP has headers out now I would definitely consider them. I haven't tried them personally, but when they first hit the market i emailed the owner back and fourth for a while about them and he seems very smart and a stand up person trying to give consumers and excellent product at a good price.
