Help, headers don't fit

I bought a set of Flowtech headers to go in my F-500 school bus, and they exit right into the crossmember (where the bellhousing is mounted). Are there headers that drop lower than the FlowTech headers?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

F500? There's the problem. I don't think there would be any headers made for that chassis. I wonder if a set of 4WD headers would work better? They usually hang lower to clear the suspension and since your F500 has a straight axle under it there should be room. Just a thought.

Just wondering, but why do 4WD headers drop lower than regular ones? I think I'll give Flowtech a call on monday and talk to them about the measurements. Does anyone make shorty headers for a 390?
