I put JBA shorty headers on my '84 351W. I don't think they were listed for the '84 engine, just 86 or so and up trucks but they worked. They had a port that I think was for EGR or other snog connection but I just plugged it. After all, all basic 351Ws are the same, except for accessories

Now the thing is the 84? up trucks have the hyd. clutch.
Now the only way I can see the shorties to work is if they come out in the stock manifold locations to bolt up a Y pipe for an 80-83 truck.
I say this because the AMC Jeep guys ran into this same issue when Edelbrock got out of the shortie header buss.
Every one bought up what they could at half the $$, yes I am one, and had issues when trying to bolt them up.
Now granted we were trying to bolt them into cars, like me, and some cars used Jeep exh. manifolds and why we bought them.
I don't know if they fit yet, been sitting in the trunk for 7 years now, another project.
So just know what you may find on the shortie headers.
