headers

I have a 78 f-150 2WD with the 351M. and I want to put some exhaust headers on it but I can't find any headers for the 2wd model so I wanted to know if the headers for the 4wd model will fit on my 2wd truck. I want some headers that have a 3" collector. thanks

Try Dynomax, they had headers for my 77 with a 460. I think the 4wd headers will hit and not fit.

You can try summit racings headers, but they might be for a 4wd.
Dynomax would also be a good place to look along with headman and possibly hooker.
I think they all sell headers with 3" collectors.

headman only have headers for the 4wd model I have looked at them but I will look at the others. my boss at work told me that the headers for the 4wd models would fit on the 2wd models but not the other way around.

ok nobody has the headers for a 2wd 78 ford f-150 so this stinks unless some headers form a different year of truck will fit on mine. going to check out the summit racing headers next I will get back to you guys. ok just checked out the summit shorty headers but they are for a 86 ford bronco with a 351 windsor would they work or not?

Wow, you like to rev that 351M there huh.?.
My 400 is loud enough at idle(900 rpm)no pipes!, and my 302 is real loud at 2,000 rpm + with the same exhaust set up as yours.

Iceman320, there is a set of headman headers going on ebay right now for $100 with one bid and they are for your truck 2wd. With a little less than 2 days left, those would be almost perfect for you.

Item number: 8025757560
