Hi and Welcome!
I just swapped a 460 into a '72. It's a 4X2 that I converted to 4X4 so the motor mount/perch situation is a little different than what you would experience. The headers I used were some that were donated to the cause by another member. I believe they were indeed for a later 460 truck and were a perfect fit.
Here's a page from Summit that has headers that should fit this application. All pretty pricey, but with some research you should be able to get the price down:
http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...=KeywordSearch
Also, be sure to check out FTE's classifieds as there may possibly be a member selling a used set...
And I have combined your two threads on the subject to make it a little easier to keep track of the info.

I did the exact same that you are doing and after buying three different styles of headers I found some L&L shorty headers on http://broncograveyard.com/ for $450.00 They are really nice. The flange is 1/2 inch thick! I liked the fender well style headers but my steering ended up being in the way.
