I'm thinking about a Keith Craft 408 stroker for my '67 and also plan on upgrading to a power rack-n-pinion. Has anybody done this combination and what headers did you find that fit? JBA and FPA both offer 351w swap headers. I like the JBA shorty headers since my car is lowered and the full length headers I have on there now hang low and drag on some speed bumps etc. Plus I think the JBA's would make clearing the steering rack a non-issue since they are shorties.
'67 Stang w/ 351w use JBA or FPA Headers

I'm fairly certain you do not need "351w swap" headers for your 67... your engine bay has the same dimensions as the later 69-70 which offered the 351w as a stock option. The swap headers were made for the 65-66 Mustangs which had a smaller engine bay.
That said, unless you are a serious racer I would go for the JBA shorties. I used them on my 69 with a 393w stroker and they are a comfortable fit. I have far more power than my tires can handle, so I do not regret choosing shorties over long tubes.
In my opinion, the use of 2.25 exhaust is more of an issue for your build than the shorties.
Good luck,
