I think this is what you're looking for. The wires are long enough for the 351M &  400, which is a little longer than 351C wires. I don't understand how you plan to route them, so I don't know if they are long enough for your intentions.

There shall be no problem with cross-firing caused by the smaller diameter cap as long as the engine is in a good state of tune, and the plugs and ignition wires are in good condition. The ignition shall only “cross-fire” when doing so provides a path to ground that is easier to travel than following the proper path to ground would be.

These ignitions were designed to ignite some very lean air/fuel mixtures diluted with exhaust gas (EGR); thus both Ford and GM engineers encountered cross-firing with the 4-inch cap. However, if your engine is equipped with a carburetor or fuel injection system providing a better air/fuel mixture the likelihood for cross-firing is reduced. I hope that makes sense.
