Thanks for the replies but I'm looking for long tube headers not short and these vendors only offer block huggers.

Has anyone used something from a different car or truck? Or am I the only one that wants long tube headers.

Has anyone made there on headers if so how hard was it?

Are you still running a stock front suspension? Mustang II? Volare? Crown Vic? with MII you could probably use MII/302 headers.... all others would be a crap-shoot but I would look at either 79 F150 351W tubes or possibly 69 Mustang 351W headers... Jegs, Summit, Lane and Speedway all sell house brand truck headers

hit the swap meets and pick up a couple sets of used up rusty old WINDSOR headers (289-302-351) truck and mustang maybe even some Torino tubes.... and test fit..... spending $10-20 for some old pieces to test fit is cheaper than buying a new set and not being able to return them because they got scratched while trying to fit them

Thanks for your help I'll have to try that. Was hoping someone has already done this before but it looks like it's going to be me. I will let everyone know what I find out when I find out myself.
