I have an 86 f250 4wd the headers I am trying to install came off a 75 300 i6. The issue I'm having is that they won't clear the starter. Any ideas would be a big help.

 

Fill in the blanks...

"header(s)"?
"86 f250 4wd"..... What engine?

a '75 I-6 has only 1 "header"

 

The 86 has the 300 I6 and the headers are a two piece setup like the hedman setup

 

ill try this. its been decades i have not bothered with headers but i recall on one we actually cut and formed a bend in the tubing. there is a simplier way, if i could just remember... didnt we use a gear reduction starter smaller over all dimension.
those headers should fit .....hahahaha .

best solution, go with fords efi manifolds. its why i have a pile of 6 headers under the shop floor 3 or 4 sets. they did not work as well as the efi.

 

I'll give it a try thanks for the ideas

 

If you go with the EFI manifolds here is my post on the swap.
