67 68 69 Barracuda/Cuda

This is my first time to post here but have been reading for quite some time now.
I have a 67 Barracuda with a 340 and a 727 trans. in it that I am building. It has headers on it right now but they have the passenger side of the engine shimed up about 1" so it will not interfere with the steering. I have read some posts that talk about using stock manifolds off later model stuff and was wondering what my best options would be if I was to go this route. I have also thought about using a set of block hugger headers and was wondering if any of you have used these on your car, and if so what brand would you recommend. Would just like to get away from the full tube header set up.
The motor will be around a 10.1:1 comp. with a nice Hyd. cam in it, just building a nice little street machine.
Thanks Rick
