Chevy V8 swap

I have been working on a V8 swap in a 98 2wd ranger. It has long travel in front and the rad is in the bed. I all ready had a crate motor from another project. Sorry about the whole chevy ford thing but the wallet only gives so much. Im having issues with the header build. Is there any one out there that has pictures of a chevy swap with headers. Any help would be great.

As far as I know any 350/383 chevy swap into a Ranger needed custom exhaust, nothing off the shelf past or present fits

The 302/5.0l is only 19" wide and barely fit
350 is 22" wide so you lose 1.5" on the either side between the frame rails, so................
