Question 400 4x4 Headers

OK guys, who makes a good header for the 400 4x4 with an Automatic transmission. Must be inside the frame, clear the cross member, No frame notching required and will clear the starter without braking the bank. And while were at it, What do I do about my starter getting too hot due to the Header's. I sure could use your help with this little project. Thanks

I also have A/C, Does your Bronco have an automatic, and did the headers go above the cross member or below it. Thanks for the help.

there ya go, cheapest set I can find. They'll fit, and use a heat wrap shield. Look one up at summit or a similar store.

Also that set will actually point directly at the crossmember, but they leave enough room to have the pipes either bent down and around/below the crossmember, or up and both go through the pass. side although it's hard to believe that.
