    351c looks worse.
    The one redeeming factor is the exhaust ports don't exit right into the towers.

    Well today I tried the new headers that "grbmaverickmo" suggested and I am still in the same situation that I was in before-I have no header clearance.
    :cry:

    Can you get the passenger side in? Are you installing them from below? They have to go in from below. And the drivers side has to be installed, also from below, with the engine lifted about 4 inches to clear the steering box. :)

    I know it has been a while, but what were the issues with the Hedman 88650 headers as far as the reason for not fitting? I have a set I was going to try with my 351. Could they be modded?
