I need headers!! (400)

I did a motor swap on my '65 F100 2wd shortbed. Engine is out of a galaxie and one of the exhaust manifolds is different. I dont wanna go pulling manifolds from the junkyard so I wanna get a set of headers.
Ive been looking at Summit Racing headers and the price, I like very much but.. they are listed for 4WD. Can anyone tell me if 4wd headers will work with my 2wd??

Btw the engine is a 400.

Must not have been the original engine the Galaxie (maybe the later LTD version). I'm merely guessing here but you might try headers for a 78 F150 4X2 with the 400 engine. I would think they would work.

Headers

Check out these. they are for a 2WD. Flowtech 12506FLT - FlowTech Headers - Overview - SummitRacing.com

Did you put the 400 engine mount frame stands in? If not the engine will sit higher and may cause issues with header fit and driveshaft angle.
