Header ground clearance.

I need some input and recommendations on which header is best for our application. We are building an outlaw Chumpcar. We have the engine mounted on solid mounts, its been lowered in the chassis and moved slightly rearward, we have a Canton oil pan #15-244T. The car has screw jacks on all four corners. We plan on building a custom trans cross member to help with the exhaust clearance. My main question is, are there any long tube headers that will give us adequate ground clearance for the headers? I would prefer for the headers not to drop down past the oil pan. I was thinking about Hedman #68460 but after reading some threads I am starting to second guess this idea.

Re: Header ground clearance.

I'm running the hedman 68460's on my car.. Bought almost 10 years ago.

I have poly mounts, 2pc rear seal block, summit 7qt kicked out sump pan and my headers are a touch lower than pan. I would say bottom of header at lowest point is 1/4" lower than my oil pan
