I'm not sure if the 302 headers can fit a 351 but if they can then there are a few pairs for sale in the classifieds.

You'll need to use fenderwell headers made for something else or get short/long tubes made. Lot's of fabrication skills needed in any case.

This is one of the major reasons 99% of the swaps are 5.0 based.

Total Performance use to make headers for a 351 ranger so there may be a set still floating around. They were for 2wd trucks and heard bad reviews from quite a few people. A 302 swap header may work depending on your engine placement or build a set. I cut up a brand new set of long tubes and made a few new pieces when i did mine.
