Truck manifolds on Dart Sport?

As I am loathe to grind, cut, or hammer things out of shape, maybe I'll have to spring for a set of quality headers after all.

I've heard that Doug's and TTI are good, but haven't researched enough to see which of them (if either) don't require removing the steering link or putting on a costly mini starter. I wish I could remember which brand I used on my '75 back in '85...they went on with relative ease and I used the stock starter. The odd thing I remember is that they were a chalky white color. Anyway....thanks for the input!
The Dakota starter can be had at any parts store for under 100 bucks.
