4x4 van

Hey all
I'm having a tough time finding a set of headers to fit my 77 e350 4x4 van
It's a pathfinder conversion ...I'm replacing the original 460 with a 70 460 with dove heads....I can't get any answers from summit or headman...anyone run into this issue before...
Any info would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks in advance

That project is very cool.
But you won't find answers anywhere except "trial and error".
You are probably the only 460 Econoline 4x4 buying headers this decade.

If you can find headers that fit a 2wd Econoline with a 460 then I can't see any reason they won't fit in a 4x4.

The 4x4 version should have more clearance for headers not less. You might need to get a little creative on the ds exhaust though.

You have have to make your own.
I know about chevy kits. I'm thinking they must make them for fords.

you might find some shorty headers designed to bolt a 429/460 into a fox body mustang. doubt you'll be able to find anything in long tube, save making your own. I know I tried long tube with my 351W and finally went with shorties, no problems.
