The headers for the CR are very different than any other kit used. And you have the added difficulty of it being a 351 block which locates the headers at a higher position in the engine bay.

Custom made will be the way to go.

The other option is to use an under-body exhaust system giving the car the look of a street style 427 car. You could possibly use Fox body style shorty headers down to the frame and then low profile (oval) mufflers tucked under the chassis. The tailpipes could either route over the rear end or exit out the side just before the rear wheels. No chance of "snake bite".

I seriously considered it for my car but the header cutouts had already been made when I purchased the unfinished kit.
