Looking for Headers

Am curious if any one in here has headers for sale for a 86 351W. Looking for headers to run out the hood of my Bronco mud runner.

i've put together lots of headers
all you need is the flanges and a "weld up kit" that can be bought from hooker and a good welder and chop saw
the headers i made for the '99 crown vic (yes crown vic) were the toughest ones yet..but were really cool after they were done...sorry no pics of those
...zap!

Just take your stock manifolds and mount them upside down. Then take the stock pipe clamps and clamp galvanized 3 inch fence pipe on it. If you really want to make it cool reverse the mounting sides so that the up pipes are angled towards the front...

I have already flipped the manafolds upside down. Believe it or not i think it sounds quite good especially when the 4bbl kicks in. But I am looking to get the most power out of my engine. And there is now way it would cost $500.00 to do this. I know plenty of people who have done this and they all just use stock headers. You just have to make sure they point right. Cant very well use a header that turns 90 degrees. I was just hopin someone on here had a decent set of headers they were willing to part with at a reasonable price. Now am just thinking about gettin flanges and running 8 seperate pipes out the hood.

I had a 1988 f150 with a 351W that I put headers on from Summit ( about $170). Should be pretty much the same thing even with 4X4.
