I would imagine it's 2 piece, the set I had on mine were, although rusted together, but I don't have a clue as to manufacturer.

..............The best set of headders made for a 351m\400 are the Sanderson shorties . Ceramic coated inside and out . They are actually made for the 351 cleveland but come with a thick copper gasket that will down size the port area to match the smaller ports of the 351m\400 . About 500 to your door but very well made........(800-669-2430 , PST)......sk

The set I had were one piece. (360/390) You had to lift the engine to get one of them in. It burned up the starters regularly because it was so close.
