headers

hey, got another question. i have an 85 f-150 302 efi with a manual 4-speed tranny. i can't find a set of headers to fit it. everything everyone sells is for 87 and up trucks. i tried a set of mustang headers, but the driver's side comes out right on the slave cylinder. does anyone know of a set of headers to fit my truck?

An 87 and up with a 5sp/4sp (might have to look at the 250's for a set though) should work.

On summit, the only headers for my year model are either for 2WD or automatic. if it says 4WD, which is what i need, it also says "not for standard transmission." unless anyone knows of ANYWHERE that sells them, i guess i'll just stick with the manifolds. sucks. do the 87 and up manual trannys have the slave cylinders on the outside of the clutch? i know they switched to the inside sometime, but i don't know when. if they do, then the headers will work.

dont have the money right now. i was just wondering for future reference. plus, they have to be shorty headers, not full length. the last time i tried full length, they didn't fit. thanks for the offer though.
