I have a 79 f100 with a 400 hp 351 windsor and I have looked through the forums here and cant seem to find a straight answer, Are there any long tube headers that will bolt on and fit?

 

The 351W wasn't factory for those years, so you'll probably have to use some shorty headers.

 

I know it wasnt factory those years but i have heard of some 302 headers fitting i just need to know which ones

 

Is your truck a 2 or 4wd? Since the 302 wasn't in 4wd then none of them would fit.

 

Oh yeah i guess it would help if i mentioned that. Its 2wd

 

The 351W is an inch taller (deck height) and a hair wider than a 302. That inch may make all the difference where the collector ends up. It could point directly at yer bellhousing's ears. I know of no bolt on 351W headers for this series BUT ya might want to check out 80-96 series headers.

OR.. (if you are so inclined) get a set of 302 headers and cut'em apart to correct the commensurate difference in height and splay. Meaning, it would require pie-cutting and extending the intermediate tubes to correct the angular differnces - the collectors would need to be kicked outboard. A bit of work but IMO, very doable.

 

Check post #21 in this thread: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...headers-2.html for 302 longtubes that fit.

 

Thanks for the replies guys. so to my understanding these should work without to much work Summit Racing SUM-G9032 - Summit Racing® Headers - Overview - SummitRacing.com

 

To bad summit wants more than the headers are worth to ship them to me
