Thread: set of headers for sale,

Tweet

this are the headers that are for sell real cheap, make an offer
and you pay shipping,for I have no use for this..

I don't know what they are for but definitely not for a 390 or any other FE motor. The tubes and flanges are spaced all wrong for a FE and the bolt pattern is wrong too.

Thanks Duane,I can't even remember how I came across this,had them laying around for about 10 yrs.,someone told me he thought they would fit a 390,so thats what I went by,just don't want to throw them away if someone can use them, maybe someone here will know what they fit, nice truck buy the way!!!

I was cruising the net and found this site:http://www.panteraplace.com/page35.htm.

Scrolling down the page until I got to the heads section, it appears that Renu36 could be right about those headers being for a Ford. 351C/351M/400 exhaust bolt pattern and ports look a lot like that. The ones shown on the link have been ported big time so the tubes on your headers would be a little small for them, but about correct for stockers.

What do you think, Denny?

P.S., the main reason I went looking is it's been a long time since I played with a Cleveland head, but that bolt pattern looked very familiar.

Actually it's possible that these could be headers for an FE in a Mustang, Fairlane or Torino. The factory FE heads used on these cars had a bolt pattern like this. This was because of the close confines of the engine compartments in these cars, due to the shock towers in Ford's uni-body cars of the era. Many FE headers I've seen, regardless of application, have both bolt patterns so they'll work with either port design.
