Has anyone used the Rex headers in a 56 F100. Just wondering about clearance from the firewall on the left side. It looks from 
measurements it will clear my steering shaft. How good is the ceramic coating?  Thanks

Casco is a well respected supplier to the restoration market. Everything I've had from them has been fine. But the driver side manifold is different for the bird, and that's reflected in the pricing. A good used set off a passenger car would probably work and be more reasonable price wise. Just watch for broken ears from over tightening and using gaskets.

I'm posting an update for the Rex headers in a 56 F100. I've been working on a project over the winter.
Installing the Rex headers and independent front suspension.  
To make a long story short. I moved the engine forward to make the headers 
clear the firewall.  Here's a couple pictures.  http://forums.y-blocksforever.com/uploads/images/6dfafd45-239b-4f16-bce8-7891.jpghttp://forums.y-blocksforever.com/uploads/images/1ada5206-13ca-4ee4-9d19-f8a6.jpg
