I have a '79 with Hooker Super Comp headers that fit perfectly. Heads are AFR 220 cc Eliminators with raised ports, although I have used the same headers on previous engines with more conventional exhaust port configuration. Plug clearance is a little challenging on some of the cylinders, but using Accel Shorty plugs makes R&R possible. I do have a couple of wrenches I have modified to make the job easier. Ground clearance is very good.

Take a look at Stan's Tri-Y headers. They should fit both straight and angle plug heads with no modifications needed. Not a cheap option but a very good header.
