    You never answered with what kind of front suspension. If it is stock, all these problems exist, but if converted to MII or aftermarket, you shouldn't have some of these problems.

    The 1962 through 1967 Chevy Novas had Front Sump Oil Pans, Shock Towers, Rear Steering, and Strut Rods.

    Below are pictures of my '65 Chevy nova for comparison.

    This should help your quest for headers. I would stay away from the fender well exit headers though, they're more of a pain than they're worth.
