I do not know what brand of headers would fit the heads, but long tubes do not fit very well no matter what heads you have. I never liked where they exited at the bottom. They are too low and in the way of the tranny pan.

I swapped the explorer 302 with the GT40P, I reused the stock manifolds and I'm happy with my results. I had to have a custom y-pipe made due to the exit points on the manifolds though.
