The cylinder head exhaust port location and bolt pattern is the same on all Ford and aftermarket heads made for this engine series... with the exception of a few nascar specific castings, so those headers will bolt up fine.. the only issue you may encounter is how well they fit the truck.

Shorties are only slightly worse than longtubes and much better than manifolds as long as you don't use the stock Y pipe and cats.
