I'm pretty sure the 460 was availablein that year chassis.I bought a set of heddman headers for my 460 in an '88 f250 with swap mounts and they fit fine.Try Summit Racing or Jegs,they have a good selection.Some folks have used L&L Products headers,very good quality but they can be pricey.If you drive in the winter on salty roads,you'll probably want a thicker gauge ceramic coated style for durability.

It was available that year but not in the 4x4 so i changed it to a 460, but when i did the engine swap i didn't want to change the towers. So i figured out the motor mounts from a 66 fair lane 500 work and you wont need to change the towers. So are there any motor swap headers that fit that application.

Check with landlproducts.com (IIRC). I have heard they will modify headers for specific applications that are close to what they already build. And they may have the correct motor mounts too.

Yes, L & L headers may be great, but if you want them in this lifetime you better order now. I ordered a set close to a month ago and called today to see when they are going to ship and the lady told me that they don't even have the pipe to make them. WTF? I know it takes time to manufacture and get coated, but wouldn't you think they might have a set on a shelf somewhere and if they don't they could make some in a month? They don't have that big of a variety that they couldn't do that. Anyways, thats my rant for today.

Didn't know that they(460) weren't available in 4x4.Headers probably interfere with front diff and/or steering components.OP I'm not a fan of fenderwell headers either but have you looked at either shorties or mid length headers as an option?
