GT40-P headers for 351w in a 65 coupe

I have a 65 coupe with a 351w and was wanting to install a set of GT40-P heads, are there any headers that will fit this application and still leave room to get to the spark plugs?

I'm doing a 351 for an 89 Fox (Lincoln Mk VII) and I couldn't find any for P heads for that. (Only shorties)

The only thing I could say would be to look at the headers and make sure the tubes don't turn down too close to the head, or turn the wrong direction too soon. Some of the ones made for that car might fit, but you'd have to look closely.

PS - check ebay for an outfit called headfixers out of SW Indiana that does P heads with bigger SS valves, better springs & seals, for pretty reasonable. They have them listed there pretty often.

[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]Ford makes stainless shorty headers specific to the GT-40 P heads. Designed to clear the revised plug placement. Have them on my 66 Ranchero. Purchased thru Summit for approx $200. They work great; the heads give good performance and with the headers sounds great!!

Get some made.
At the end of the day, you'll appreciate it.

Of course you can buy already-made headers for this app from http://www.fordpowertrain.com

Very nice pieces.
