Default fox body mustang sbc swap - what headers?

I'm doing a SBC swap on my 89 mustang w/AJE K member, AJE motor mounts, custom tranny crossmember and stock control arms. I was trying use the stock chevy manifold for now til i get some good headers. but they seem to hit the firewall on the passenger side and hits the steering shaft on the driver side. I saw some SBC shorty huggers new for $70.99 on ebay. Does anyone think that these will clear my issue on both sides for now? Or what other headers would would work with very little to no modification done to them? I want this for now cuz my actual build will be a 6.0 swap but i'll be putting all my money on that one and using the sbc til it gives up on me.

Im on my first chevy swapped mustang right now, but i used a LS platform. Dynatech and Kooks makes LS swap headers, maybe they make SBC headers as well?

I found a set of brand new hooker 2451HKR w/bolts and gasket in exchange for my old busted ford T5. haven't tried but looks like these will fit with little modifcation.
