Not really. There's a bunch of pics scattered around the threads. You'd prob find a bunch of it looking under posts for my user name.

There full length, I did some research before buying mine and read at thread about this and someone brought up the same issue and said he replaced his starter with the same headers with no problem

The starter is cake. The headers are actually quite a ways above the starter. High enough that I'm not worried about heat soak. The crossover early is so its tucked up nice and tight. She is a 4x4 and I don't like pipes hanging too far below the frame line. There is more room in that spot in front of the bell housing then behind it. It also had to cross early to get both pipes above the tranny crossmember without too tight of a bend.

This is off topic but does anyone have any creative ways to put a cab on the frame with scratching the frame?

I'm glad i'm not the only one that thinks the same thing. I bought the headers, stage 8 locking bolts and the remflex header gasket and the total after shipping was $653, you would think after you spend a lot of money at bronco graveyard you would get some coupons or something

I triple this.. I got some fenderwell exits for my truck and i think with the stage 8 bolts and header gaskets with shipping it was somewhere around 800? Definitely should have coupons..

Yeah and to think all I got when I bought mine was a surprise 3 week back order.

i looked at the header bolts an will probebly use them for somthing else after fooloing with broken bolts in the 460 head [drilling/tapping] i am going to go with ss studs and nuts i was told a 2 week wait for these headers to be shipped from l&l to jeffs 7 days later whe whole order [about $1000 worth] was at my door in alberta canada! every thing i have ever needed was in stock but i am so busy at work i may have to wait for spring to do the swap as long as the 400 holds in there and yes some sort of "volume/doller value discount would help i think i spent 3 or 4000 there all ready
