Can anyone suggest any long tube headers for a 5.3 that won't require modifications to fit? I know the hooker blackhearts were the best, but they do not make them anymore. I heard about speed engineering ones, however it seems those require modifications. I also heard about some S-10 specific ones that may fit without clearance issues? Or should I be considering mid-length headers instead?
 
Check out American racing headers. I have their 1 7/8 sbc headers on my car and they fit perfectly 👌🏻

Ended up ordering speed engineering 1-7/8" long tubes. They seem to have good reviews, but will still need some massaging. For the money I don't think there is anything that comes close.

Im in the same situation as you are, Im also considering ordering same headers from SPEED ENGINEERING, have you had a chance to fit them and/or notice any issues you might run into. Please let me know as i am also searching for best fit headers. Thank You
 
i have the speed engineering and they need a little bit of massaging but for the price they are great
