I don`t know if they sell the header flanges separately, but FPA offers their FE headers with  a choice of exhaust bolt patterns, including the 14 bolt pattern, used on 390 engines in shock tower applications, which includes the so called "390 GT" pattern.

1985 Mustang HB 331 SB Ford, 4 speed Jerico, best of 10.29@128 MPH 1.40 60 foot.
