Selecting Header Company
I'm at the point of my build where I need to start thinking about headers. I will probably need them by the middle to the end of Dec. I'm running a 351W with Z304 heads. It's a bit tight on the driver side foot box, I'm planning on using one of the header mock up kits. My question, is there any particular header company that any of you would suggest? I've looked at Gas-N-Pipe, GP, and Stainless Steel Headers. Thanks for your input.

GP Headers has the header business for our cars. Sold (?) to them from Stainless Headers. Don't think you'll find them offered by Stainless. I have the GP custom Coyote headers in my current build. They were great to deal with and the parts are beautiful. GP has a fixture they'll send you and then custom make the headers from that. I personally hadn't used that service, but have read several very positive reviews. If you want custom headers, that would appear to be the way to go. I'm on my third set of Gas-N side pipes. Love those and another great company to deal with. But I haven't used their headers.

GP Headers
I have the Ford Racing Z427 and I have no issues with clearance. I used the header jig kit that GP Headers has available and I was able to place my Gas-N side pipes exactly where I want the and address any clearance issues. Take a few minutes and call them. They already have a template for your setup as is without going through the Hassle of using the jig.
