Sanderson will make them for you. They're probably the only place that will. You try Schoenfeld http://www.schoenfeldheaders.com/

Hedman makes them for the 351, roadsters, 1 7/8's tube, don't know if its for the 351C or W....then theres Gibson, they made them. Hooker at one time made the roadster headers....
Check out Summit and Jegs, also the folks that specialize in Fords. Might want to check out the HAMB boards, or over at KillBillet, might be able to get some good stainless ones pretty cheap the way the economy is....

Most I find are for 351W's, which are not even close to the right thing. I once had a set made by http://www.lakeheaders.com, and may do so again. Was looking for possible other styles.

Speedway sells header flanges for the 351C so if you can weld them up you could always buy a set for the Windsor motor cut the flange off and weld on a new one. There is quite a difference in the shape of the exhaust port but if might be worth a try. Those Sandersons are pretty pricey aren't they?

Order the kit or have them weld them up for you, Stahl Headers will fix your up http://www.stahlheaders.com/Frame New OT.htm I am going to use the 2" tubes, a little over 300.00.

If you had some done in the past by Matt at Geardrive I would suggest going back to him. We have done some business with him and found him to be a very helpful guy who makes a really nice product. Not sure if he does traditional T bucket style headers, but I know he does the lakes style.

Take a look at Exjunk's friends Ford headers on his T.

Thanks Mike...those are pretty cool headers. The fact that the exhaust flange surface is pretty much already at a 45 degree angle, make me think it would be very easy to put together a set of headers myself pretty cheap. Something simple like a lake style or log style would be pretty easy. Zoomies ever easier! Just a flange with 4 straight pipes coming off of it. LOL

Indeed it does! You could even fit a nice small muffler in there somewhere and quiet it down quite a bit I am sure. A common 3" pipe maybe leading into a nice round 3" muffler? I am looking at NEHR Speedcraft's "lake" style header thinking something along those lines may be an easy idea for the 351C.
Andy, between the engine and the seats, it looks like you're making a lot of progress on your ride. Glad to see it coming together!
