Long tube headers

Any of the"darksiders"here use long tube headers on their trucks? I have a 53 w/volare clip w/ 302 auto. I still have the original rear crossmember in place from the flattie. I dont really want to modify or hack up or remove that crossmember. I was just curious if any one knew of an off the shelf set of long tube headers that would work. I just rebuilt my 302 and added a bunch of performance goodies. The cam company recommends using long tube headers for best performance. I just want to get the bang for my bucks!

Thanks for looking Bob

Thanks for the reply Sam I guess it may come down to that, I'll run my mustang shortys for now. Where did you pick up the hardware to fab your own?

Thanks Bob

Schoenfeld headers for the downstream parts, and the header flanges I found on ebay. I see that Schoenfeld has them now too. and had them coated inside and out by HPC
