400 headers an options?

i just did a engine swap from a 302 to a 400 i am finsihing it up in morning bolting it up its set in just needs everything bolted on now. i had some 4x4 headers they wouldnt work at all. my friend that i bought the 400 an truck it was in off of had fenderwell exit an they didnt have a chnace of clearing. i was gonna buy shorties but sanderson is a bit out of my price range. now i guess i got 3 options. flowtech 12506? pacesetter 70-3122? or hedman 89260? the pacesetter is bout 6 bucks cheaper than the flowtech's roun 160 an 170 an the hedmans are 190. but half the websites says hedman are automatic trans only. so i am asking what is the best 351m/400 header to use on a 77 swb f100 with a 400 granny 4spd? anyways thanks

Use whatever fits with the Manual trans you have, that said I threw some flowtechs on my Dodge pickup and they point up at the trans crossmember and one is about 1/8" from the transmission pan so I tend to lean towards other brands...

I assume automatic only is going to be due to clearance issues with the clutch linkage used in these trucks.
