305 to 350 dipstick and header problems

alrite i got an 84 z28 that i got a 75 stingray 350 for but the problem is the dipstick is on the drivers side. first problem is im sure all u guys no the 305 exhaust manifold doesnt bolt up. second problem is i dont have the exhaust manifold for the 75. so question is what headers can i buy that will clear the dipstick, or will i have to do sum tinkering to get any pair of headers to fit? its getting to be a real headache and any bit of knowledge from u guys would help. keep in mind i am from new jersey so inspection will also be an issue.

thanx
aj
----------
also just want to put out there that this is my first project camaro...and hopefully not the last. so any bit of advice and help would be very much appreciated

thanx again aj

Re: 305 to 350 dipstick and header problems

Had same problem, got headers and y-pipe from summit racing,These were the least expensive headers available with matching y-pipe 109.95 each,flow tech is brand header #BIG-11102FLT,y-pipe # BIG-11102YFLT, Y-pipe goes directly into factory cat. converter, very tight fit, used extra thick header gaskets , no leaks and or clearance problems, more expensive headers may go on a little easier.Plenty of dipstick clearance.
