Default headers for AFR square port heads?

I bought Pacesetters and d-port gaskets.
Perfect port match from gasket to header, but the square port head bottom is blocked by the d-port gasket - by ~ .250"

what headers match the square AFR head port?
long tubes, 95 Trans Am
not $1000 please!

thanks

Geoff, here is a picture of my Hookers. You can see it's a little more square shaped than d port shaped. With a little grinding it can be manipulated either way.

Thanks for getting back to me Dave - interesting to see.

I think that might work for me as well. Sadly the Edelbrock stepped header is discontinued.
I think my Pacesetters (alot like a Hooker with the O2 bungs on the inside, I read) should actually work with a port match to a square port gasket.
Thanks guys!

If you go to AFR's website they say to run a standard SBC (Square Port Gasket) Felpro #1404. Why did you not check there first?
