Okay, so I'm mocking up everything to ensure I have a good fit and everything bolts together correctly before I break down and start painting etc. I'm using CPs Toyota P/S gear box, and early on in this project, I had purchased a set of Chrome headers at the local swap meet not really thinking at the time that they would not fit due to the gear box. So the question is this. I have a stock 351w, I"m using the bolt in crossmember, stock motor mounts and CPs Toyota P/S gear box. Looks like the only option would be some type of header that drops straight down so it will clear the gear box, about middle of the head. Does anyone have a similar setup and if so, what headers did you use. I looks like the Stock exhaust manifolds would work, and point towards the rear of the truck giving me enough room to hang pipes. I could go with those, but it would be more cool if I had a set of headers. The issue is there are so many different styles to choose from, not sure where to start and don't want to end up returning headers becuase they won't fit.

thanks

 

I believe these are the headers a couple of guys here have reported having good luck with. See if they look like what you need.

I have a different set up than you, but used the Hedman Hedders that hug the block and point slightly to the back. Your right there are a ton of them to choose from. I got lucky on my first purchase and they fit fine.
