Question Room for Headers

I have a 351c for a 1956 F100. It looks to me like there is no
room for headers. The standard steering box seems to
take up too much room on the left side.

Dog,

Take a look at Sanderson's FC1 header for 351C engines. It is a block hugger header designed for tight fitting applications and should work in your 56. A similar version may be available from others...

Sanderson FC3

Vern,
thanks for the info. I just called Sanderson.
and they suggest an FC3. They say it is shorter.
I'm not sure how that will help but I am going
to check out the specs.

Dog,

Check prices of Sanderson's vs. (same design) @
www.speedwaymotors.com

I got my ceramic coated block huggers for my 302 for $200

Daryl,
I gave the site a look. I like the prices and will make some calls to check fit.
Thanks!
