What headers to use for F1 with SBF?

I have a set of headers for a Mustang, but with the stock steering, they are not usable for the driver side. Is there anyone who sells headers for this application? Is there anyone who has a driver side header?

I'm planning on using Sanderson headers: Sanderson Street Rod, Roadster, and Classic Pickup and Truck Header Applications. 1948-1952 Ford Truck Headers

Haven't actually bought them yet, so can't speak to the quality (have heard both good and bad)... but they seem to be the only ones out there specifically made to fit these trucks.

THanks for the link. So those are block huggers, eh?

I was searching online for header manufacturers, and all of these are made in China. A little more searching, and most all brands...if you find the true manufacturer, can be bought directly from the manufacturer for about $30-$40 a pair...but minimum quanity of 20.

I wonder if someone bought a lot of them what the shipping would be, and if they could take them to this site to unload them? Just a thought...but I would have to find the true manufacturer.

I wouldn't expect too much from a header that cost $30-$40. My time is worth more just to bolt them up than that...

Sanderson is in San Francisco and they build a quality header, the old line about the good feeling you got in paying a cheap price soon fades...applies here.
