I'm sure they will clear the cab but I'll bet the toe board will get plenty warm. I would have thought that the Headers for your chassis would have dropped father down, similar to a long tube design.
PS.. Waiting for Jerry to give you his Header speech

I tried 3 different designs on my ‘62 w/350 and 700r4. The only ones that gave me all the clearance I needed were the rams horn style.

Dunno how well they will work for you, but they sure look pretty.
Had a paper airplane contest at my place of employment back in 1989.

No rant- - - -P.T. Barnum is alive and well, and now he's selling headers and other eye candy! Jerry

Honestly though, who here has not bought a part for their truck just because they liked it? I will defer on the performance questions for headers because I have seen dyno tests that say they make some difference and dyno tests that say they don't. My *opinion* is that it is a function of the entire engine from air cleaner to exhaust, but I am not a builder.
I will say that I like the look of them and I have put them on more than one engine just because I wanted to.
Stock up on spark plug wires- - - -you're going to need lots of them! Jerry

My brother used to burn his plug wires all the time, but I never had an issue with it. Maybe I was just lucky with my choice of headers or smarter about my routing.
Back on subject, what's next Ferris? You are tearing through this project. I ended up helping my son with some schoolwork last night instead of looking at your AC stuff. Slap me around if I don't get it for you tonight.
I hate headers. But doing a cost and time analysis between all options this was the best option due to Blue Print head design. These are supposedly no gasket headers? We will see, but I plan on using gaskets.
I am going to route wires 1966 style and keep them down low on the block and up the rear of the engine. Only the rear boot is remotely close to the tube.
Fibonachu. Uggg I am math teacher almost every night with my kids. Its is brutal cause they don't like direction from me.
