Sanderson fit,finish and quality is very nice..another option may be to check around for headers that will work with the 351w into a fox-body (conversion/swap) and look at those choices..check my gallery. I think you will find your choices limited to the block-hugger variety. Also,as a side note, look at the 'stage eight' header-to-head fastner's;they will prevent the header-bolts from backing outand burning thru gaskets.My friends have also had good luck with the 'copper'gaskets with all kinds of different headers. Good Luck!

Sandersons are my choice. I have a set on my 429 and they fit into my 52 nicely.
They sound great and look nice. Thats my 2 cents.

Hey Retro - quick question: Did you swap out your stock steering box on the 429 install, and if so, what did you use?

Hi Julie, yes I did. I went with a Toyota PS swap, build my own bracket, but there are
kits out there that have one. Also went with a Jeep steering column and they fit great.
The Sandersons hug the engine and I have plenty of clearance for the Toy PS box.
