Default Where to find long tube headers that will work with manual trans?

I have a 95' f-150 with 302 and M5od. Can't find long tube headers to work with manual trans on any sites. If someone knows where I can find some or the reason why most long tubes won't work on my truck give me some in-site. It will be greatly appreciated.

They'll work. The application guide for my Flowtechs on Summit's website said they wouldn't fit a manual trans but they were wrong.

You will need to fabricate the rest of the exhaust system to work with longtubes though, as the flanges will be farther back than those on the stock manifolds. Also, you'll need to find a place to mount your AIR injection tube and make sure the headers have a bung for the O2 sensor.

I have Hedman Elite Long Tubes with a 351 and a 5-speed. I think I ordered them from Jegs?

How well do they fit? I want to put a set in my truck, and also they work with auto trans too right?

Thank yall for the insite. I forgot to mention it's also 4x4. Will the front shaft be in the way? I blocked off my egr so no need for the air injection tube and luckily I only have the one o2 sensor So only have to weld in one bung.

They fit perfect. I'm not sure about the automatic? If you call JEGS, they can answer that for ya. And I"m not sure about the 4x4 deal, I'd try and call someone and ask about fitment if I were you....
