MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - 4.3L V6 headers

I currently have a Sebring gt with a V6 3.8L GM engine (3/4 of the sbc 305) I have removed this engine and am now building a 4.3L to install in the gt. (the 4.3 is 3/4 of the sbc 350) I realize this is not your normal conversion, but am interested in finding headers for the 4.3.L. (my headers on the 3.8 are shot) Preferably, does any one know of any company who makes "hugger" headers that will fit the mgb? If not the "hugger" type is there any company that makes headers for the mgb will allow installation. Or, does anyone know of an idependent shop that has made custom headers for this 4.3L installation?

Hey Mike, you big silly! Why didn't you say something to me about this? Times Welding will make you a set if you can wait in line. Oops! It has been a while that you have been working on your car. Doug is reasonable for the amount of work he does. Your GT cost me $1100.00 if you remember. Anyway I hope you are doing well. I finally got up to speed. I hope it lasts.Call me.

Your Bud,
