okay, I'm very very close to getting the windsor into my car. Some of you may remember that i was putting a 351W EFI into my 68, but i have decided to go carbed cuz i'm impatient and its cheaper that way. I'm looking to having it in within the next two months. What my question is, is should i go with shorties, or full length headers? They are both headmans, and both are the same price. I was wondering what you thought would be the easiest on maintenance and install. I'm thinking the shorties will be easier to install, but what about maintenance? Keep in mind the it will probably be cramped under there. Oh, also, does anyone know of 69 351W headers of being able to fit in the bay of a 68 with a 351, cuz a guy has a pair he will sell me dirt cheap, he says they will fit, but i'm not sure about it.------------------

I just finished the 351W install in my 67 coupe, I used headers from Ford Powertrain Applications, if you are running a 4 speed with z-bar linkage I highly recommend their headers, very easy install and plenty of clearance.

Me too, are you using a cable or the Z-bar?
If it is the Z-bar I recommend the FPA headers. You do have to use the 69 351W Z-bar with their headers but they fit perfect and damn near installed themselves it was so easy.------------------

These headers will work with the hydralic setup, by the way, how do you like that set up, I've heard good and bad about them.

If you want to make the most power, the Hooker #6208 1 3/4" 351W swap headers are the top choice. They are made to even fit in a 65-66, so should fit great with the extra room of a 67's engine bay.Good Luck! ------------------
