First off welcome to the forum.
You looking for help installing them, help in determining which ones will fit, which is it? You need to be a bit more clear and then include the front suspension type. That is a pretty important factory in figuring what will fit. People here will try to help but you need to help us give you good info. Pictures really help in determining what will clear your obstacles.

Wow, I was just getting ready to ask this question myself. I have a 1995 302 engine (which I would think uses similar headers to the 351W) with a 4R70W automatic which I need to buy a set of headers for. They will be going into my '49 F1. When I look at 302 headers, they are usually listed for either passenger cars (late 60's - early 70's) or for trucks of the same years. What is the difference between the truck and Pass car headers? Will either type fit into a F1? The exhaust will be full custom so the rest of the exhaust can be made to match up with the headers. What should I be looking for?
Sorry about the thread hijack and if the answer to my question would vary from Dan's, just let me know and I'll start a separate thread.

Will depend on what suspension you have in your truck , your 302 will provide a little more room than the 351 which has a higher deck height making it wider than the 302. Check out some of the manufacturers websites and look at the various styles they have and the measurements they provide. That way you can narrow it down..

These fit great on my 302, even with the stock box. There's a cheaper painted version for about 300 bucks, which is what i got. My motor's a little higher up than it should be, if it was lower it'd clear the stock crossmember quite well. Based on the amount of clearance it has, it should also work with a 351. Might need some heat and beat, might not. But i'd say it's a good bet for good money.
They also sound excellent with glasspacks.

Not at this point myself yet. But I have a 351W C6 setup going in a '50 F2 with TCI IFS suspension (installing now). I think with this setup I'm going to have to go with short hugger headers, Summit, Sanderson and Speedwaymotors all have some that may work. But I still a few months before I can do measurement around everything. Will really depend on suspension you have and other things that may get in the way.

Steve, thank you for all the pictures as this is a great help. Is your engine center mounted or did you offset it?
