Exhaust header question

I'm looking for a replica stay exhaust header similar to the SBC 350. tight to the block and the collector down the middle, as I would like to save the existing exhaust setup that I already have.
The engine is an LS 6.0 that's mounted to an SM465 transmission. As you can see the mechanical linkage is the obstacle that i need to tackle.

If yall need anymore information, let me know,

Thank you and Merry Christmas,

You might have to get a center-down exit generic shorty header. Check Jeg's and Summit, look for LS engine shorty headers. There are some out there. You might have to do a little fabbing to get your system to attach to it, but should not be too involved.

Hooker / Holley has a lot to choose from and might have someday that will work.

Does this look close to the style you want?

PART# 11706-1FLT Has1 5/8 primary

The Corvette style 1 3/4 primary are probably better if they will fit.

I'm kind of surprised at how "rough-cut" the Holley pieces are, but maybe the close-quarters application puts limitations on aesthetics. Both of those should work for the OP, hopefully.
