The Summit brand headers fit. I had the same issue. Have a look at this thread:

I called they recommended Flowtech $316 Ceramic. I did have to call a couple of times to talk to someone who actually knew what they were talking about. I was looking at the Summit brand but they weren't sure.

Most of the headers available have lousy ceramic coating that doesn't last. You are better off buying bare steel headers and having them done by another coater. Calico Coatings and Caps Brite Hot Coatings are two that come highly recommended.

My Brodix -10 heads have angled plugs and raised exhaust ports that further complicate clearance for the plugs. I run Hooker Super Comp headers. It requires shorty plugs and I had to clearance the #6 header tube for the plug. Measured carefully and then took a round 3/4" steel bar rapped in a rag and laid in on the tube at the proper spot and angle and hit it with a large hammer. It made a nice indent and looked like it was made that way. It gave me the clearance I needed. It didn't even crack or mark the ceramic coating.
