77 Header help
i am rebuilding a 77 F150 4wd with a 460. The truck has a C6 auto tranny. I cannot find headers to fit a 4wd anywhere. All I can find is applications for a 2wd. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated
thanks

Use the Hookers. I built a 390 for a 4X4 '75 and they were the only ones out of three tries that fit and allowed me to attach the driver's side intermediate pipe to the muffler with any clearance. Just a reccomendation because of my experiences.

Buzzbait65,
On the fenderwell exit, do these go over the frame then down the body? I have never used fenderwell type before and am curious how I can put the exhuast between the frame rails....

yes, over the frame then back, i had twin pipes running straight back then I went to a larger diameter pipe and decided to run them back under the frame (for no special reason), works great both ways....

I pricd th L&L headers the other day. Expensive, but I like how they look. I also ran into a friend with th same setup, and he had the fenderwell exit headers. I do lik the extra room it gives you around the starter and tranny...don't have to worry about the extra heat! I think I will go with those....
Thanks for the help!!
