    I put a Cleveland in mine, without shaving the towers.
    Plug access was non-existant.
    Tubular Automotive makes swap headers for both C and W engines.
    The towers do not have to be shaved, but if you like your sanity, you will shave them. Makes life a whole lot easier.
    The W swap headers have tiny pipes though, from Tubular...
    Hooker, Heddman, JBA all make 65-66 Windsor swap headers that fit our cars in various forms of bolt in... JBA mid-lengths look like they would go worry free. They are block hugging and have 1 5/8" pipes. They are also very expensive.
    Hedman LTs are said to fit well, but they also have 1 1/2" tubes like the Tubular parts.
    The Hookers have the big tubes, 1 3/4", but they require modification to fit our cars.
    Good luck
