Full Length Headers (but not custom made)

Does anybody have experience fitting off-the-shelf full length headers in a 1956 F100 with a 390 motor and C6 trans. It uses the Trans-Dapt bolt in crossmembers for both the motor and trans. The motor mount crossmember is the round tube style that bolts to and sits on the top flange of the frame rails. I currently have what Ford called short cast iron headers from a 1962 406 motor. The younger version of myself would still like full length headers as long as they fit correctly.

Look at early Mustang options, I have had luck with them as they are made for fight confines.

Thanks, I'll take a look at those options. Funny, I have a 1969 Mach 1, but with a 351W, and didn't even think of those possibilities. I was only looking at early 1960's F100's with FE motor applications.
