It works like this, there were no 429/460s ever installed in 61-66 Ford trucks, therefore there will be no listings for them. Trial & error may be the only way or go with custom built.

I know they didn't come with 429"s in them was just hopping someone who had done the 429/460swap before would chime in and share some of there experience.

My dad put a 429 in his 65 and used headers for the 73-79 trucks with the 460 but I don't remember what brand they are. They fit fine but he did have to put a small 1/4 inch or so notch on the right frame for clearance on one tube.

If your still looking, L&L and Mad Dog makes those headers for the 429/460 swap into highboy trucks.. They can be found on broncograveyard's website.

Have a look here --> 1967-79 Ford Full Size Truck/Bronco Headers & Parts - 429 & 460 Swap Kits

I don't have a clue if they will help you or not, but it might be a place to start.

The only issue you are going to run into is that you need a cobra jet exhaust flange which is usually a custom header, Stan from Stan's Headers is highly regarded when it comes to custom headers, here is the link to his site.

Stan's Headers, standard and custom high performance header designs for automotive and marine engines.

Or you could just build your own, give Carl @ carsbycarl a call he can get you a kit to build them.
