Question Headers for a 1968 Ford F100 Truck with a 460

I have a 1968 F100 truck that I am converting from a 302 to a 460 with a C-6 transmission. I am having a heck of a time finding Exhaust headers for this conversion. Everyone I talk to says the 68 ford f100 didn't come with a 460 and they do not have a Swap exhaust header part for this application. Can anyone suggest a manufacturer and set of performance exhaust headers that will work and not break the bank? Any help is appreciated.

I have a set from Dynomax on my truck. I just ordered them for a 74 to79 application. Kenny

Thank you for the quick reply Kenny and elgemcdlf. Do you guys recommend inside or outside of fender? Also how much performance can a performance set of exhaust headers buy me versus a standard set? Thanks again!

I was assuming you have a 2x4 pickup. Mine run inside with no problems. I wouldn't expect any significant changes in performance unless you start adding other items. While they do help breath out the exhaust side if you are not putting more flow in the intake side you won't notice anything. I plan on taking my 460 out to 650 hp & in that case every little change adds up. If you are running a 4x4 the dent guys who have done the 460 swap into their 4x4s seem to prefer exiting outside the rail.
