headers for a ranchero?

ok I just finished my 400m build up in my 77 ranchero, I follow the hot rod build, but according to desktop dyno I am going to be really limiting my horsepower running the manifolds i shoved on it so I could start it up and drive it a while. the only headers i can find for it are super comps from hooker and there is no way I can afford 400 $ for headers I am a highschool student with a part time job so its really out of the question. my question is what are my alternatives?

Is it possible to use headers for something else like for a 351c for a mustang or the ones for a bronco??

Well I'd look at the 351C 2V's for a 70-71 Torino or Cyclone.. They should be pretty close ....

I thought a guy from the Cleveland board said he used Dynomax. Which companies have you tried? Here are some links.

how woud i know if they'll fit. they have them for the 73 351c but the deck heights are different would this be a real problem, and its a c6 instead of a c4.

We went over this a few months ago. Like I suggested before,

contact the guy on the Cleveland forum who used the 351C headers on his 400. That's the best I can do.
