Oh. In that case, try Hedman or Hooker. I recall some of their offerings are fenderwell exits and noted as so.

2x... not for an FE at least. Hooker does carry a set for 351M/400.

Have ya considered shorties like from Sanderson? $325 for plain steel.

I believe they will.

But you be the judge: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-pictures.html

If they don't then I'm gonna have to the new set on my 71 F250.

The only problem I see might be the routing of the rear sump dip stick tube with the sandersons but that was an issue for me with the Mad dogs also but still doable ..

Just be careful.
They are bitch'en headers, but if you have a half ton you may have to do a bit of re routing to make them fit.
Steering, cab brackets, inner wells and oil dipstick are some areas of concern.
They seem to fall right on (qualified) to 3/4 tons.
