Are there any other headers that will work with a small block in a Pre-68 body besides the $$$ Kooks/dick miller/ American racing headers?

Don't think either of these will work on a pre 68 A-body Olds, will they?

I have used BBO headers on my small block and they worked fine. the SBO and BBO heads have the same bolt patterns. If anything the headers may have hung a little lower due to the deck height difference between an BBO and an SBO... but not enough to make a difference as far as clearances are concerned.

The mj headers in the post are bbo 64-72 but I think he's looking 2 do a small block header as well. I would bet the shortys would work... Not saying 100% but I don't see what they'd interfere with..

There is a difference that makes a difference on a small block because W&Z manifolds will not work on SBO. The Z manifold will not fit, the outlet hits the block and you can't bolt it to the head. I don't know if that smae thing applies to headers or not, but that is what I meant.
