Nope. Most are sold for Jeep applications, which are too low for a car. Not enough aftermarket demand now. One thought -- swap to a 4.0L head. Then you can get a header that will fit. The factory header works fine, but there are aftermarket XJ headers that will work also.

I have a Hooker Super Competition header for small body in the for sale forum. It's a true tuned, equal length high quality part. It's in as new condition and super rare.

I've tried to find it so I could post a link but I can't make the search function work.

Just uploaded a picture. 

It is designed to fit both pre and post `72 sixes. Fits small body cars.  So it will clear the left side starter on the `71 and earlier models. It's built for the large port heads but will also work on the later small port heads without modification. 1 3/4'' tube diameter.

$400. US

I had Jeep headers on my 68 232. Had fun making one of the tubes clear the clutch linkage, but it worked.... They were Clifford, so not all Jeep headers are a no-fit on the cars. It's sort of hit and miss, IMO
I'll have to look at the AMC 6 cyl headers I have hanging in my shop - I'll probably never use 'em.
