Default BBK L/T's for Automatics?

Hey, Im going to buy new L/T's for my project car (85LX with a C4) and cannot find BBK headers to fit an automatic. They have a good deal for $239 for a set but none will fit the auto. anybody have a link or anything.

there maybe some that fit but will probably require fitment issues with the crossmember

For my application all i want to do is run an H pipe with 1 chamber flows into turndowns or just turndowns after the long tubes. Not trying to go with a stock look as this is going on a drag car

Only ones I found so far that would were Hooker's and they are twice the price of BBK's BUT they do fit autos!

Long tubes produce the most amount of HP. With a drag car im looking for the most out of the product. I called about the Hooker Headers Pt. # 6222-HKR and they will fit the auto, just not a C6. Only thing is that for regular BBK's LT's, they cost $239. The Hookers regular long tubes for my application are $419. Looks like these are my only option.
