    Hi,

    I'm trying to finish up my 66 F100 longbed, with a mildly built 429/466, a C6 and a four link. The truck has a Crown Vic crossmember and I've used a rear sump oil pan. I installed a 4 link with the Dana 60.

    I saw that Outcast Autoworks have mounts for this conversion, and I think I'll use them to avoid using more time making my own.

    I picked up a set of Hedman 460 "gine swap" headers, which really don't fit. The engine offset (nearly 5 inches) puts the passenger side collector onto the frame rail and the driver's side collector exits into the rear sump.

    I can make it work, but has anybody tried other headers that are easier?
