64 F100 FE Headers

Hi all, Im currently building a 64 F100 with a 390 out of a 66 galaxie. The original manifolds were leaking, so I would like to replace them with headers. Fitment seems to be an issue. Has anyone installed long tube headers on 64 with an FE??

I know some prefer the long tubes, and the Sandersons are not, but they do fit well with room for the starter and not jacking up the engine or cutting frame components.

Patriot specific fit headers.
I have a 66 w/352, power steering, and C6 trans.
These fit great, no issues.

Do need to jack up the front of the motor off the perches by 1.5" or so.

Looks like you will have way more clearance.
You can always purchase the headers and if they don't fit, send them back.
My 2 cents.

I'll be removing that rear cross-member under the firewall next. My 460 with the C6 attached will not fit thru that opening.
