I might be wrong on this one, and for your sake I hope I am. But I was always under the impression that the Clevelands used a "FE" style header, where the flange is more "under" the exhaust port than on the "side" of it.

I attatched a pic of my Fairlane when it still had the Cleveland in it. Not the best pic in the world for what we're talking about, but doesn't it look like the exhaust ports are pointing "down"???

The other thing that popped into my mind whilst typing this, if you're building ANY kinda horespower from 400+ cubes, it's not gonna like the little pee-pee 1 5/8" headers you find for a Fox body to build your own.

That's a tough swap to do. What in the world posessed you to undertake such an animal?

Me thinks you're gonna end up with a local guy making custom (read as: PRICEY) headers for that beast.

One word: BEER

Actually, i've always liked cleveland engines and C6 transmissions, i owned a 1978 F-150 with the choked 2 barrel 400 and knew there was alot more in that engine that what come from the factory (4* retarded crank sproket, small cam, 350 cfm 2 barrel, exh. manifolds with 2 or 2.25" single exhaust). Not only that but how many people are dumb enough to try and pull it off
Now most people would try a 460 with a plethora of swap components for a fox body and would make more power for equal maybe even less money.....but......hmmm......
anyway, it'll be a fun swap if i'm able to follow through with it, since i also have my 5.0L GT as a project.
