What about "shorty" headers? Lots of companies make them (Hedman comes to mind).

hmm...fenderwell headers for A body...I inquired about B
They're 2" & they work on a 68 road runner way better then they worked on my 67, 440 barracuda. You had to run a mini-tire & jack it way up to clear. They're still on the 68 rr as far as I know. Easy plug changes & you can fit 2 starters up there, side by side.

The question was about 2 inch headers..anyone have them that don't capture the starter...why am I getting questions about the motor build...A body header suggestions and a the rest of somthing I didn't ask for? Either someone has em...or they don't...simple
This is pretty normal around here. But don't let that discourage you !!

why are you so worried about the starter? it's not a GM.. it will be fine. Not sure of the part # but Hooker makes a race set that are 4 piece, but 2 tubes exit out the inner fenders. Buddy used them on his 69 coronet. If I do 2" that's the way I'm going.
duh...starters fail..

Then run manifolds, really no header is going to give you total easy access to the starter, it's even more of a pain if you have PS. That's why it's good idea to run as many factory ex mani studs as you can. It makes pulling the headers easier. On my last set of hedmans and Summit headers I was able to use all of the ex mani studs. This way you don't have to drain the block before you swap out a gasket or if you have to move the header. FWIW you'll have half a dozen things fail before the starter.

I run Schumacher Tri-Y headers. Easy install. Doesn't trap starter. Easy access to plugs.
Yes but if he didn't want to use 1 3/4 or 1 7/8 he won't want to use those.

Why ask this question ? If someone wants a burger, do You question that with somthing else. I hate to be like this BUT if there is nothing POSITIVE to reply with...then don't....I can put all on the ignore list but I'd rather not.
If it's "possible" to make things EASIER down the road, then shouldn't one take that route.

So basically then you're only looking for the answers you want to hear, not any opposing view points that should at least be considered. You should probably put me and 3/4 of the board members here on your ignore list.
