Default 2" header tubes

Hello, I am in the process of building a pro street 1990 c-1500, and installing a gen 4 496 with ported brodix heads rr-bb-o. The exhaust ports are D shaped that measure 1 7/8" across, the engine should make around the 600 hp mark. I need to install 2" headers but am having trouble finding headers for 1990 model.
Some manufacturers say that 89-91 models have the engine offset to the passenger side, mine measures that way. Various company's offer 1 3/4" headers and Sanderson has a set of mid-length 1 7/8"(bb8 ) they think will fit. Any suggestions for 2" headers will be appreciated.

I had to get mine custom built for my build, just didn't have any options. 2" primaries and 4" collectors.
