Help on Headers

I have a '67 Ford F100 tht originally had a 352 and It has been converted to a '72 351c w/ 2v heads from a Torino and I need to find headers that will fit. I have power steering and a C6 tranny to clear. Has anyone done a swap like this before and can tell me what headers will fit? Thanks guy'z.

I think you will need to look into headers for a 351/400m powered truck. If I recall, since the 351c was only offered in cars, the headers do not drop down far enough to clear the underside of the truck.

Yes they do. However the 351M is taller and wider than the 351C so 351M headers may drop down too far. You spends your money and takes your chances on 351M headers fitting but they will be the closest of any that I can think of. See if you can pick up a decent used set at a swap meet or somewhere and experiment a little! Chop and weld a bit possibly?
