Need help finding headers

Can anyone point me in the right direction for headers for my 55 f100. I have the volare clip and was hoping to use the powersteering from the same car. I am putting in a 289 from a 67 mustang so I hope to have more clearance than the guys that have stuffed big blocks in. Has anyone had any luck fitting headers into a setup like this? Should I offset the engine? Any help is appreciated.

you usually need to offset the engine to get past the steering box.
sanderson seems to be the only one that sells headers that work for this configuration..

I wanted long tube for my Volare setup so ended up making them myself.

I don't know which model would work.. looks liek they only have 2 for the 289.. so a call would probably be best..
