Headers

I am new at this site and have a few questions. I am looking to install a set of headers on my 93 F super duty {F450} 2wd 7.5, 5spd. solid front axle. I would appreciate any comments or pics of your installs. Hooker and hedman state they do not make headers for this truck.So should i buy the closest to my application and cut and weld as needed? Does anyone know why headers from a F250 2WD would not fit on my F450 chassis? Thanks,

I think the main problem is that there are not many headers out there for the 460 and manual trans combo. Have a look at Doug Thorley headers as they are one of the few that do make them.
Good luck.

Could you post or send me pics of the banks headers installed? Do they hang low at the reducers? I have not read any negatives about banks.
Thanks.

I did not know LMC sold headers.I have had good luck with parts i have purchased there. Unfortunately, The Hedmans and the Hookers application list states these will not fit FSuper Duty chassis. I do not know how much different my Chassis is from e F250/350. Banks does not stock the headers for My F450 chassis. Banks told me they could make a set special order for about $1200. OUCH. Diesel brad thanks for the pic of your truck. Those headers fit in there pretty sweet.

you can't find headers for your 94 F-450 because ford never made a 94 F-450.
ask for a f-superduty.
parts people can only get what the computer tells them is available, and the computer will not get any hits for a vehicle that was never made.
you will probably have better luck asking for headers for a 94 F-350 460 4X4

The part houses refer to this chassis a few different ways. F Super Duty F450 And also F47 from the vin. etc.I have owned My 450 10 lugger for 5 years. Have purchased a lot of parts.
My thought about the 4X4 headers. If they were close to a direct fit i believe that Hooker hedman and others would include this chassis under that or any other part number. I am not familiar with 89-96 F250/350 4X2 or 4X4 to know the different front chassis lay out and clearences.
Has anyone seen a 89-97 F super Duty F 450 7.5 with headers installed? I have not seen one. I see cut off wheels in my future. Keep the ideas and comments coming I appreciate it. Thanks.
