Headers, will they fit?

I have the opportunity to purchase a set of headers for a 400m. These headers are from a 78 f250 4x4, will they fit in my 78 bronco with the same engine(400m)? I can't seem to find any information on this anywhere.




'78 Bronco, 400m, np435
np205, 35" swampers

I love my truck!!!!

i would have to say that they would fit just fine. Make sure you get a real and i mean real good set of gaskets because you dont want to replace them after the install. also when you do this is a good time to install new plugs and wires with a good heat shield for protection.

good luck

If they are used, it might be worthwhile to take them to a machine shop and have them make sure the flange is perfectly flat before you install them. Might eliminate chasing down an exhaust leak later.

I was looking at headers for around $70. Is that a good deal? To tell you the truth I don't know that much about headers and as I have been researching this I am finding out that there are many differences and quality levels.
