I just put them on my 351w with an np435. Not bad fit but the passenger side barely touches the frame on the collector tab.

Updates - I finished installing my cross member and t-case and it lifted the angle of the drive train to give me a full 1/2” clearance...should be fine.

Wish I hadn't read this. Got my 1990's K-Bar-S chrome headers still in and the are rusty. Just hate the thought and expense of modifying the exhaust pipes to match. Arg! Those look so good. If only time and money were unlimited.

Hi, I'm curious to know if these headers will blue over time? And if so, does anyone make a stainless shorty header that is ceramic coated?

Stainless will discolor. Scott Dreake doesn’t make shorty ceramic headers but Bronco Hut does. Maybe some others...BCBroncos use to make them but I think they may have stopped.

I have JBA ceramic coated headers. They are very well made. They have not blued at all yet. Got them at wild horses.
