Full length headers fitment

Hello, I tried doing a search but no luck. Either I didn't use the right keywords, or maybe just a bad search. I can get a pair of 5.0 full length headers for my 85 351w build. I'm going to do a true dual exhaust of these headers will work. Any info is great. Thanks

I don't mind notching the frame of that is what's needed. The frames getting notched in some areas to fit the build I'm doing

Since the 351W is a taller wider engine than the 302, I think you will have problems making those 302 headers work.

Find out what the part number/manufacturer of the header is you are going to buy. Then look the header up for the 302 and then the 351w. Some headers may interchange, it depends on how they were designed. I do know the stock manifolds and y-pipes do not interchange from 302 to 351w. But they used the same cylinder heads, so they will bolt on. But like was mentioned in a previous post, the 351w is wider/taller than the 302.
