Default 88 xj 383 swap! What headers to use to fit???

hi.. i have a 88xj... i bought it with a stock 350 and it was a tight fit with just stock manifolds... the stock 350 got pretty beat and planed on building it up anyways.. i got this 383 that is really healthy pumping 505hp to the crank and i defiantly dont think i could use manifolds on it and dont want to in the first place... so im trying to figure out what headers people have used that work... if i dont figure out something soon im going to start choping up the 3 setts that i already have and building a custom sett

i havent tried block huggers yet but from the measurements im getting off line i dont think there going to fit either... they were custom motor mounts built not bought ones so i think its mounted a little different then most swaps.. from the sounds of it im also going to need to run the vacuum lines off the colectors as well that part will have to be custom regaurdless..
