OK, will put my line in the water here.....
1969 F-250 (Camper Special) 2WD, 390, and a C-6 auto
Installed a cheapo set of Jeg's headers (#30075) for the breakin' period
and all was fine till the driver side exit which interferes with the transmission linkage in a big way. Like from 'drive thru 2 and 1 gears'. Probably 3/4 " or better by the time its altered. Not sure I want to dent them this much; plus the exit does not line up with the flowmaster exhaust system tailored to the auxillary gas tank, so there's that too.
Here's the thing. There is plenty of room to the 'outside' of the car there for a different exit point for the headers. Question is, does anyone have similar experience or a better 'cheapo' break in header fit. Looking at the Flowtech # 12542 and it looks to be a possibility.....
On a good note, there was no other interference issues whatsoever. I do not have power steering, which seems to be one of the common issues with this model. Will try to get an underneath pic to illustrate.
