Default Blueprint Heads /Hooker Side Headers

Does anyone have any information on whether Hooker Side Mount Headers will work with a new Blueprint 350 engine, their Aluminum Heads have a .500 raised exhaust port
I am wanting to replace the engine in my 1981 Corvette ,4 Speed
Thanks You

I have Hooker headers and side pipes on my Blueprint 383 stroker. I got them to fit but they are tight to the frame. Its much easier to lower the motor one half inch before you try and install them. A quarter inch will help a lot also.
