get some headers from summit...im sure they make good headers for that motor...but the only problem youll have is clearance with the steering column

Go check out the 385 forum on www.bigblockfox.com. I have both the FMS pan and mounts and I am running the Hooker SC and they are interfering with the steering shaft joints.
BTW 79 w/ manual rack and k-member spacers. Had steering interference before the spacers were installed too.

I got a 351W and it doesn't clear the steering shaft.

I have a windsor with "R" heads and 1 7/8 long tubes that didnt really clear, but made it work. I've also put a 460 in a 86 gt and used the kaufman products headers. Cleared ok, would have cleared better with a flaming river steering shaft though.

I have Kaufman headers on my 460 in an 80 Capri. No clearance issues anywhere including steering shaft. They fit good with the swap kit motor mounts and the solids I made.
