Looking for FE header for a 66

[66_Highboy]

In in the process of building a 390 for my 66 f-250 4x4 that has a 352 in it. and looking into headers for it but nobody list anything for the 3/4 ton four by. and talking to some people i found the issue is getting around the manual steering gearbox thats located behind the axle. and trying to get the pipes around the clutch linkage. The linkage goes through the floor outside of the frame and has a pipe deal that goes up over the frame rail next to the motor. being this much of a pain in the ass does anyone have recomendations for headers? I think fenderwell exit headers would be very cool but where to look for them?

Sorry man...dunno much about the headers for your application...but have you considered going the custom built header route? More often than not, getting them custom made can be cheaper than actually finiding something that will work. Just a thought.

Yeah I think goin the custom route would be the easiest and least time consumin way to go.

What about some cast iron factory shorty's? Like the early 390HP and 406 Galaxies used? I think there are guys who use those in some pickups too.

I had a set of Hedman headers in my 66 250 2 wheel drive with a stick in it. I had no trouble fitting them in or around anything as far as the 4X4 can't help you there. Checkout www.hedman.com/products/?id=3479

i would not go that route. i have headers on my truck and now that i have to pull the starter, guess what! the headers are in the way. after removing the inspection plate, things could not get any worse now i am pulling both headers off to remove the tranny and bellhousing so i can replace the flywheel. what a pain in the @ss. they sell repos on evilbay look under FE exaust manifolds even though it will add to the cost of repair i think it's worth it in the long run.

Good luck.
