Header length standardization

I have a set of headers on my musang, and they interfere with my starter. After spending 450 on the dual exhaust, I figured the best way to go was a mini starter (and it was) but a trany swap sent me down the rabbit hole.

Right now, it's looking like buying a decent header that won't press against he starter is my best way out. What are the chances that there is standardization in tube length, and I'll be able to just bolt the new header on?
 
Header manufacturer's adhere to one standard length - theirs...

If you replace with same mfg' headers, probably have same interference problem. The small block six 250 fortunately can use the SBF V8 PMGR type starter but haven't seen mini used successfully with high-mount starter sixes. Fairly common Hooker Dual-Out's 6601 (144-200) and 6602's (250) are tight but well engineered to wrap around full size Ford starter ( but not early Falcon/Comet steering ! :unsure: ...)

Here's a different length unknown set of duals I got on CL but haven't used yet:

'don't thiink this typical offshore built 2X1 set could fit in a Falcon:
