A guy i know has some ceramic BBK headers for a 351W part #15110.Will these bolt up to my ''86 5.0?I have a BBK X pipe i'll be using also.I can get the headers in a trade,i just don't want to get them if they won't work.

I'm going to say "no" since stock/aftermarket 302 headers will not work on a 351.

+1. They will bolt up but they will hang too and be misaligned at the mid pipe not worth the headaches no matter how good the deal is.

My BBK X pipe is adjustable and was hooked up to these headers already.I just wasn't sure about the bolt pattern at the heads.

351W headers will bolt up to a 302, they have the same bolt pattern. The swap headers are taller and hug the block more, you will most likely have to play with them when doing the install.
