I used 351W into foxbody LT's by BBK on my '79. I had to dimple the drivers side header on one of the primaries to get it to clear the steering rag-joint. Had no clearance issues on passenger side at all.

Yes, you have to use the swap headers. If you try to use 302 headers they create clearance problems and it will cost more to rig it to work that to do it correctly.
