Wondering if any pair of 460 4wd headers will work on my 1976 f100 that was originally a 6 cylinder truck, and was swaped with a 460, really dont wanna have to buy swap headers, i feel like any headers will work becuase the frame is the same.

 

Huh? You basically answered your own question.. Your 300 was swapped for a 460.

And they're called "swap" headers because the 460 was never offered in 4WD F100s or F150s.

 

I was asking if i could just buy normal headers, because swap headers are expensive

 

What is a normal header for a 4wd F100/F150/F250 with a 460?

Post a PN and a link please.

Thanks.

The application listings tab indicate that's for a RWD (2WD).

The left header collector will likely want to share the same space as the front driveshaft on a 4x4.

Your probably wondering if they make cheaper swap headers something like the Headman ones. As far as I know L-L and mad dog are the only options. Good luck.

 

Personal experience with L&L headers. They looks great. Nice thick flanges. But did not swap without cutting and relocating stuff in my 460 swap.

I don't want to sound like a Debbie-downer but it's a fat chance in hell you'll find headers which I'll bolt in with no modification.

 

I know you're on a budget but when dealing with non-standard drivetrain configurations there is likely some issue that will reveal itself unless thorough research is done at the outset.

Another option is Sanderson 3/4-length headers (PN FF461) but they're relatively pricey. However, they can provide the greatest flexibility in avoiding clearance issues as indicated above with L&L. In the end, what is it worth to ya?........ https://www.sandersonheaders.com/hea..._block_429-460

On the flip side, buy a welder and modify at set of low-buck headers .. the driver's side will need to altered to move inboard to avoid the front driveshaft. Pie-cut, bend, and re-weld... and you get to keep the welder.

The header build if you're able to fabricate then read up on the F100 Viking build. I don't know the exact price point but the dude purchased U-bends and flanges off eBay? And made his own
