351M Headers

Does anyone know of a set of 351M headers that Don't exit outside the frame, and Don't extend down lower than the rest of the truck? With the clip off, and an engine swap in progress, this is definitely the time to do this. I'll stay with stock manifolds and run duals if I have to.


And BTW, I forgot to update the other post....It did jump timing. Cam timing gear teeth were ugly. You can bet a double roller set will go in the new motor

Sanderson headers have some stubby block hugger options that might work for you.

Kegger, you're right! I like those. But I'd have to move the passenger engine mount forward 1". That's probably a showstopper. I'm not keen on changing geometry and dynamics on this truck. However, if the photo is the actual header, I can probably cut off the tubes just above the flange, then do some tube bending and TIG welding. I'm going to call them and get a more educated on those headers.
Thank you very much!

OOPS. I was looking at the wrong header. They do make one that won't require engine mount move. Thank you very much!!!

My Summit headers are chassis exit, but hang down pretty low. If I were to do it again (not sure I would) I'd probably go fenderwell exit
