Will thses manifolds fit?

Will these exhaust manifolds fit?
I have a 1977 f-150 4x4 with a 400 in it. It currently has headers on it and they leak. I'm wanting to go back to manifolds. I'm aware exhuast work will need to be done. I planned on putting a new whole exhaust on it anyway b/c the current one has had it.
Will these fit? I know 351 manifolds do but wasn't sure if these would.

The link doesn't work, but if you are looking at 351C manifolds that came off a 351C with 4V heads, then NO, they will not work. You only thought you had a leak with the headers They will bolt up to your 2V 400 heads, but will not seal up as the exhaust ports on the 351C manifolds are bigger.

LMK. I'm hoping to purchase the off ebay I don't wanna miss my chance.

there are a lot of exhaust manifolds from 351C 2V cars, some are different for different years too. they may or may not work in your 4x4 chassis, some manifolds may cause the exhaust pipe to interfere with the frame. then there are the 351M/400 manifolds from cars that may or may not work. you have to make sure that the manifolds you get will work in your specific application.

it always is. might be easier to go with a good set of headers, or even just a new set of headers. especially if you're thinking about other performance mods?
way at the bottom of the page is Bubbas ex manifold info,

i'd just hate to see you buy a set of car manifolds for a 351C that won't work!

I tired buying headers but I kept running into fitting issues. I think fenderwell exit headers may work, but I can buy new manifolds for that price that should need no modifying too fit unlike the headers. At this point I'm just wanting it done. I wish I could find soemone local with a set it would make everything a lot easier. Once I get the new manfiolds and exhaust redone the truck should have almost everything done to it I had planned.

I'll save you a lot of trouble right now... the ONLY manifolds that will work are 351M/400 manifolds from a 4x4 truck. The car manifolds will not clear your firewall and the 2wd ones will hit the passenger side frame rail and drivers side steering linkage.
I purchased a set of Hooker Competition headers which are very good headers from summit racing, they ran $171.... its not a bad deal.
