You may look into getting some Chevelle headers... I started out with Hedman Elites for 67-72 Chevy trucks, but they ended up hanging down too low (4.5" drop), so I ended up trying out a set of Hedman Elites for a Chevelle. Below, the first pic is with the truck header on the driver side, the Chevelle header on the pass side. Neither set ever came close to hitting the A-arm, I just changed because I didn't want to bang the collector on the ground. I'm using CPP arms, so I can't speak for the fitment with factory arms, though I don't see it being a problem. These are mock-up pics btw, but the truck is fully assembled.
