There is VERY little room for headers, especially the 4bbl clevelands--from the people i spoke to, you'll need a weekend to change spark plugs, and the steering linkage STILL hits the AutoKrafters 351C swap headers.... IT IS A TIGHT (TIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!) FIT!!!!
You may also want to consider just taking the 2bbl heads and putting them on a 351 Windsor...it's not an uncommon swap, and you get the best of both worlds (Clevelands have poor oiling...you need to plumb a line for oil if you plan on wrapping the engine up at all).
