Hello,
I have a 1984 Ford Ranger I LS swapped with a 5.3. I can’t find any headers that will fit. There’s not enough space on the driver side because of the steering column. Has anyone on here done something similar? I’m not running turbos or supercharger. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

u guy on a Nissan forum is doing this but into a nissan. He has his headers on backwards, like for a turbo, but no turbo> says it takes up less room that way. I will try to find a pic.
... or maybe it was on here???
