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.

Should I look into shorties then or is there that much of a difference? It will have a 3 in single exhaust

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.
