Header Pictures

75 F-250 Camper Special 390 - 2wd

I have spent hours on this website and on Google images looking for pictures of header installations and exhaust routing for a camper special and have not found what I'm looking for. So apologies if I missed the thread that would answer my questions.

After all this research and several times laying under the truck, it looks like the best alternative is fender well headers. I don't think I have the ground clearance to route under the trans without munching the exhaust pipe at some point.

Does anyone have pictures of a fender well installation? If not would anyone be willing to snap some for me?

What are the draw backs to fender well headers?

Will this also improve access to the starter as well as starter life?

If folks have more info for me I'd appreciate it.

I have some pics of fender well headers on a 2WD F100 if that helps at all. The biggest part is getting the header tubes around the steering box.

I was wondering about how the headers would work with the steering box.

I'd love to see any pictures you've got for that.

Thanks,

I guess I need to add that I have a 460 and not a 390.

Sorry for the late reply.

Thanks for posting those pictures!

They helped a lot but not how I thought they would.

There is no way that I could go over the steering box like you have so that means I'll be running the Shorties from Sanderson.

So thanks for the help.
