Has anyone found a set of shorty headers that will work with a 87 bellhousing? I tried a couple, they all hit one of the ribs on the passenger side.

I used the wildhorses (jba) shorties. I have a 91 AOD and I had to cut the ear off above the starter.

We used a pair of 88' truck shorty headers, we had to cut and modify them to get them to work. If you are a decent welder you can do it pretty easy with a mig. Here's a pic of a mustang shorty header that I found on here. I have the pics of ours on my home computer if you want them.
