Shorty headers for Dakotas can sometimes work. Not sure on an E body though.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

If you spend too much, you are only out the extra. If you get a cheapy set and they don't fit, you're out all of it.
I really wish people would quit assuming that not wanting to spend money is a choice. If you've got $2-300 kicking around to lend me then i can afford the headers i want. No money here, no credit. I dont want a $125 header, but $600+ is out unless you want to help.

Dougs. Check out Autozones website. With the 20% discount available at the time, I got mine for about $380 shipped to my door. These were the raw versions. Coated were another $120 more I think.
Hmmm... Maybe you can link the page. That website was next to useless for me.
Dougs for under $400 sounds good though. They make nice stuff. I didn't know Doug's went over the steering though. I dont need coated headers.

Hmmm... maybe a cheapo swap meet option for experimentation...
Got excited... Spintech makes a REALLY nice set ov Dakota mid-lengths... but again, $700. Dammit.

Nice, but now i'm back at $600+. Maybe the uncoated version is a lot less...???
Does this stuff come up used a lot? Dougs or TTI? I know if i build a big block Challenger i never have trouble finding used headers.

I meant cheapo Summit replace your manifold with "headers" type headers.

$200, price has gone up since I last looked at them.
Yeah... might be an option to get the thing up and running. I wonder if they fit?

somehow you can't seem to search properly. I put exactly what I wrote in the search box and it got the following as the ONLY selection! I sure don't see 600+

searching d453 got both coated AND uncoated.

Well my computer wont load certain sites and i dont have 20 minutes to search for one page. I had to google Dougs home site for that price. $440 is a lot better. Still over $500 by the time i own it across the border though. Probably gonna have to scour the Earth for something used. At least there are two brands i can use.

Amazon has those headers with free shipping, maybe not for you guys up there though..

I had a set ov Hooker Super Comps on the 340 in my 71 Challenger for a while. They do fit pretty good, but you need a hell ov a motor to use them. The tubes are too big for a stock type motor. They are 3/4 inch from exhaust port to collector. Kills the bottom end if you have a pretty much stock motor. Check the small block for sale section, or maybe A-body parts. I think there's a set ov brand new Dougs 453's on there with one dinged tube. If they fit an A-body, they will fit an E-body.
Hah! JD... i had to laugh...
Hmmm... this is good to know. But now i wonder how much engine i'd need to really utilize them. I am putting a decent-sized cam, RPM intake 5.9L Magnum in there, with plans to mod further along the way. 1 3/4" does seem big, but then again, this engine should be relatively close to a stockish 383 and that would love a 1 3/4" header... Should be around 320HP to start with, though all done by 6000rpm.
Another thing is this will be a light car and a stick. 3000-3200lbs... so torque needn't be ridiculous.
Saw those headers already, though before i knew i needed them. Too bad they'll be gone before any money comes around for them. Grrr...
