why not just contact Jim at www.fordstrokers.com and have him assemble the shortblock for you.

MAC 1 3/4" - 3" 351W swap headers, and those are still too small...

BBK makes 351 swap headers, they are shorties and they're on my 95. I think they also make LT's. I think there are 2 other companies that make swap headers. They are for fox body Mustangs tho...
