My advice is to buy Ford Racing Headers for your Ford engine...I have them with my Ford 302 engine ( i have shorty headers)
and they obviously bolted up perfectly...the other thing worth mentioning is they are nice and thick on the face portion of the
headers, so warping and such is not an issue. Been on for a year and are still 100%. They aren't cheap, but what the hell is when
it comes to fixing these damned trucks.

I have a set of Summit brand long tubes on my 302. They were listed for a later year truck with a 302. They fit quite well with only a little bit of trimming to the inner fender on the passenger side for clearance. I would bet they have headers for a 351 in a later year Ford truck as well.

I have Hooker Headers on my 302/C6 passenger side is a little tight near the tranny. Other members have used Sanderson Headers with no issues.

The only 351 that came in later year (70s/80s) Ford trucks was a 351M, no 351C and no 351W engines. I'm sure the 351M headers will not fit on OP 351W engine.
