I have a '77 F150 Custom that has a 360 from a '75 Ford, that's what I believe it to be. I would like to get a set of headers for the truck, and I'm wondering whether or not I should order for the truck year, or the motor year and CID, or if it doesn't matter.
I'm not sure if the motor is out of a 2wd or a 4x4, becasue I noticed that part of the driver side engine mount was torched out to make room for the stock exhaust manifold. I don't want to order a set of headers and find out that they don't fit.

Thanks for your help guys.

 

Throw down some VIN numbers and find out what it came with. I cant help but there are a few guys on here who have mad skills decoding. Maybe it had a I-6 in it before? IDK just a thought. I would personally go with the year of the motor and weatrher or not its a 2x or 4x. Im pretty sure the main difference is the frame right? The older Fords with the divorced x-fer case had a narrower frame? Or im just making that ish up? If not someone will correct me

 

The truck had a 400 in it before, I already ran the VIN.

 

Then cant you just order it for your year of truck and just order it for the 390? I know the 351-400 biz and 360-390 is the same sort of deal right. Maybe if you can get it for the 390 so there is no problems but check with the oter 360-390 guys. If there is no option to order it for the 360/year of PU. I think a few came with a 390 but like I said im not positive.

This is what I found in a quick search:
