What about moving the engine over an inch or so to the passenger side? Is the F1 frame narrower than the '53-'56 F100s? Can't imagine trying to run a Toyota box with a 460! It was tight enough with the FE and I'm not sure which engine is wider! I didn't offset my FE but hindsight says i should have... I'm pretty tight to the box in my '56.

The car manifolds on the 460 fit pretty snug to the block. The manifolds i have on my FE are garbage. Pretty much like crappin through a coffee straw. They have no flow to them what-so ever hence why they are nick-named 'log manifolds' as they are no different than a simple 2x4 chunk of wood with holes in it. If i could run headers, i would in a heartbeat. Best thing going for them is that they have a 2.25" outlet versus the 2" outlet you ypically find on the FE manifolds. The 460 manifolds are typically 2.25" outlets with the truck manifolds being the exception being 2.5". Probably be a trial and error situation... i know they do make block hugger headers for the 460. Can't remember the manufacturer, but I do recall seeign a set or two.

Hey Bob,
I found this link that discusses the trials & challenges of fitting headers onto a 460 in our trucks - maybe there is some information that might help. I know Sam (Sdetweil) spent a lot of time researching the different header options before finally going with customs to get it all to fit on his '55.
Good luck over there.
