Reccomendation on Ceramic Headers.
MS69, here are the engine frame bracket dimensions, measuring from where they mount to the frame up to the center of the cross hole for the motor mount:
Low perf. small block...drivers side: 2". passenger side: 2 3/16".
302...drivers side: 1 7/16", passenger side: 1 9/16".
Big Block...drivers side: 1 3/4", passenger side: 1 3/8".
Compared to the standard low perf sb brackets, the big block's are 1/4" lower on the drivers side and 13/16" lower on the passenger side. Since the drivers side sb bracket is 1/4" taller than the bb, that might be all you need, unless your car already has the 2" sb frame bracket. Also know that the mounting horn on a bb frame bracket is narrower than a sb, so a bb motor mount won't slip over a sb frame bracket.

I have Hooker Comps on my 69 BB. I had to dimple my #3 tube at the steering box. I am also running solid mounts because it is real tight at the box.
I originally bought the Super Comps but one of the tubes (I forget which one) went over the top of the box so I couldn't get my lines in
