Yeah, a custom exhaust fabrication shop!
Seriously, 351Ws were never offered in Dents. The closest you'll get is a 302 for 2WD F100/150s and modify it to make up for the taller deck height and corresponding increase in width. Your cobbled F250 will likely introduce new problems... Ya didn't state 2wd or 4wd so add another point or two to the difficulty factor.
Good luck to ya.

Personally, I think you're overlooking the potential of a 390FE. Visit Survival Motorsports and be inspired.

I'd have to agree on this one. Windsor engines from pre 74 can be made to be drag racing engines with 2000 hp... I HIGHLY doubt that an FE can pull that kind of power.
The windsor was one of the greatest small block engines that was ever built by ford (year dependent).
I'm sure we could beat this into the ground, but there is no sense in doing that.
Like HIO said, grab yourself some longtubes and go to work. If you do end up fabbing up ANY sort of headers, please let me know. I've got myself an early 70's mustang windsor in my truck
and she's been looking for some headers for a while.... just my fab skills aren't up to par at the moment.
Make a build thread for your headers if you're doing any work, I'll be with ya the whole way! I also know of a few others that would be VERY interested in this.

It'd be nice to get some longtubes under my hood.. but I guess I'll keep dreaming...
