Default 1968 427 Headers

Hi All,
I have a 427 68 Vette and I am looking for a set of what has been called "Black Jack" headers for my car. I believe that Balck Jack was subsequently sold to Cyclone headers. These are large diameter headers and they have a square flange that bolts to a collector. If anyone has a set to sell please contact me. Or if you know of anyone you may want to sell a set. Beyond that, can anyone recommend a good set of air flowing headers for this car? This is a 435 horse car.
Thank you.

Not sure why you want to restrict yourself to the "Black Jack" brand but I'm using a set of Hooker Super Comps on my '68 with 427/390. They have 1 7/8" primaries and 3" collecters and they fit very well. Installation was quite easy. Unlike small block applications for C3 Vettes, the selection of off-the-shelf big block headers for C3's is rather limited.
