Default can't find headers

I'm putting a 383 with chevy bowtie phase 6 heads in my car. I need headers but i cant find any that will fit! i was going for hooker 2149s but they will not fit because my heads have angled plugs. Anyone have any ideas? :crazy:

What angle are your plugs? I have angle plug with my 2149 with miles of clearance.

Yep! I had 2149's on my L98 with angle heads too. In the Listing for the headers, i believe they're referring to AFR Angle heads...

I'm not sure of the angle, but AFR designed the heads for chevy. I'll try to post a picture

AFR makes 3 different style plugs on their heads; straight, angled and L98 angled

I dont think they are L98 heads. There is a description of them at sallee-chevrolet.com. Enter web page, type the casting # in keywords, choose #3 SB cylinder heads and it's the fifth part down #1005167. the casting number is #14011049. I really need some help, they are putting the engine in tomorrow. Thanks for all your help so far.
