$300 doesnt sound like a bad price for a good set of headers that fit right.

Try hunting around ebay, or craigslist. You can prolly try and find headers for around $50, if you don't mind constant gasket replacement due to cheap headers. You get what you pay for.

$300 would be nice, I'll have to spend about $500 for the chassis exit 460 headers for my 77 highboy.

hey

you see that new episode of gears where he cleans up stock exhaust manifolds.. check it out they look nice.. and cheap to do just takes time.. but if your looking for more performance then only the headers will do.

460 swap headers for my 77 F250 4x4, either fenderwell exit or chassis exit are rarely on ebay. I look all the time and never seem to find any used. I'm going to get mine through Bronco graveyard, but they are L&L headers.

I got them at Jegs for my 76 with a 360 for a little over $100. Don't know if they have them for 351. www.jegs.com

i also have an early 77 hiboy with a 400. these headers are hard to find. the 351m/400 engine was only available in a hiboy for the first half of '77. in mid '77 ford swithced to the lowboy. the early/late headers are not interchangable.

the headers that were on it when i got it were hooker headers. i replaced them with hedman elite fenderwell exit headers, but they were $300. hooker might offer a lower priced set, but i would expect they wouldn't last as long. pics of my headers in my gallery.
