Header Problems

i recent bought a '84 f150 4x4 and the guy i bought it from put a '79 351m motor in the truck. the headers on the truck are causing me several headaches. they are to big and hit everything...the driver side has even burnt a hole through my dipstick housing. can anyone recommend a smaller header that would fit this motor and not cause any problems in my truck. thanx for any help provided.

Get rid of the headers and go with manifolds. Then take it to your local pipe shop and have them connected to your original exhaust.
