    oval and SQ port heads

     



    Guy's i've been doing some shopping for some block hugger type headers . Alot i see offered in something I like say they are oval port . This 84 5.0 I have has square ports in them . I'm wondering is this a head year difference or what . Having a time finding headers that say square port for what i have .

    Did you check Hooker? They used to make a very nice pair of square port Mustang headers, not sure what all else...Used to use them on my Maverick small blocks...... Most everything else I build is some sort of weird combination and I just start with a pair of flanges and go from there......

    Hmmmm...Aren't the regular factory 5.0 headers off the GT Mustangs a square port Bobby???? See a lot of them on eBay....

    Dave i have a set of those i want to get a set of huggers in cheap form just in case i may go that route . I'm still looking into the F150 style you mentioned too. Only thing is one is perfect and the other is the same a mustang style that i found so far . I did find a perfect set but again oval port design.

    One thing I've found on the Ford huggers, if you get a set get the ceramic coated ones. The tubes kick up kind of high and they build a bunch of underhood heat.... I do have a pair (someplace) of the really heavy cast 351W exhaust manifolds Bobby. A bit bigger ports and even some ribs to keep them from cracking... I'll get a pic if you're interested....

    Great subject eat , breath and sleep 67's even though there are so many great years out there . I just like those fake vents in the 1/4's .

    theres a ton of header applications that fit your car.... any header out there for a fox body should have some cleareance..... the fox body is a tighter compartment than a 67.... try finding headers that fit a powersteering 66
    just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day

    Hey Bobby, did you look on the Speedway Motors site??? They have a few different styles, one of them might be for an A....

    Dave i seen them but the pic shows the oval port gaskets . Now does this really matter there add didn't list it as being oval just for small block fords . Maybe its just confusing me and it shouldn't and there is no real differencs maybe i should contact a exhaust place and ask if there really is a difference But the kids working don't know that much either .. Here is a pic .
