1979 F250 with 390 custom headers, help!

My headers on my 1979 F250 are getting bad. The engine is a 390 that I was told was built using 428 parts? Not sure yet. Still trying to find the original owner/builder. Does anyone know if the headers have to be custom or would standard 390 headers fit in my 79'

Thanks a lot, Heikks
