Check Schoenfeld headers. Shorties may work. 2010ish Camaro SS manifolds should clear.

So I took a chance order some Schoenfeld header and fit really well, doesn’t even come close to the slave cylinder

share the part number, I don't have hydraulic shifter like you do but may run into the same issue with the linkage, always good to have more than one option.

If you want more pictures or measurements I’ll be more then happy to help out, the passenger side fits really well to, I have the more sitting about where the stock motor was and it’s just a little close to the floor of the cab on the p side but should be fine

I went to their site and I saw that the paint is temporary, so I would imagine when you fire that up it will burn off. You did say the paint on them sucked. I'm not there yet, still working on the frame, leaf springs are getting prepped to go back on then I have front and rear axles to rebuild, both leaking and the brake systems will be upgraded, before I start installing the engine.

I just got my pump in today, just an in-line tell I get some tanks and all the parts to go with it, probably not the best place to run my fuel lines but seem the easiest

Oh nice, I was gonna clean all my frame up again but I said screw it lol I Regeared the front and rear axles and did a true trac in the rear, even the motor I had in it before was rebuilt, probably like 3k on it haha I’m not sure how to upload a video clip but it had a pretty good sounding cam to it
