big block headers

Tough question for sure on my part, but does anyone know or have reason to think 80-85 F250 460 2WD headers will fit on a 77 highboy with a 460? I don't want to even attempt it if no one thinks it might work. Too much work.

I have the headers just setting there, and if they don't fit this truck, they're going to be made to fit something.

I don't think the headers will clear the transfer case.

Finally tried it.

The driver side fits with no changes and the passenger side needs some work. I cut all four tubes at the flange, not quite through, and I have to weld about a 3/16" pie piece in each one. They have to be moved towards the engine to tuck inside the frame.

Both sides clear everything well, and they hang high.

Not usefull info I know, but I get headers on my highboy for no extra cash outlay.
