Default 74 Catalina Headers

I'm looking for some headers that will fit my 74 catalina. It is a 400. I have asked a few people about headers, one guy had a grandville and used dougs D590's. But I'm looking for something a little smaller and cheaper. I have looked into some sites and can not find any that fit. Anyone have any suggestions? I have looked into the rare cast manifolds, but really want a set of headers.

Supposedly 2nd generation F-body headers will work fine in the '71-76 B-body. Someone here added 3" pipes with an X crossover using headers:

I used RARE exhaust manifolds over the headers, still happy with 'em.

I thought about the oversized ones, but again they do not perform as well as full length headers. I'm not 100% sure how far I am going to go on the catalina, but I feel like headers leave more room.
