There are aftermarket Ford-appearance shifters you can buy that bolt up to the Hurst Shifter and have the forward placement. Most of the Cobra accessory places carry them. You will need to look at where the shifter mount places the hurst unit on the transmission. If a short tail housing it may place it forward enough that a stock Hurst handle or a 289 Cobra shift handle would work best. The 427 car shifters were placed a little further rearward and needed the forward leaning shifter.

Undercar headers may take some searching because most of them gather together and run down at the rear. You will need some headers that gather a little forward of the engine mounts or just behind them to miss the foot boxes and turn down and back. You might try posting in the Small Block Talk forum or on the Factory Five Racing forum and asking about a source for headers that will work. It will definately help if you can identify the make of replica first.
