Title: 429-460 swap headers
Post by: rmk57 on 2010-07-11 19:06
 Looking for set of 460 swap headers into a 57 Ford. Crites, FPA, and whoever else makes them.

I used FPA this time around. They're short, good for a low car.
I think Crites are long tube so the car  needs to set up. I mostly
used custom headers for a long time.

I HAVE USED BOTH F.P.A. AND CRITIES HEADERS AND SHOPRATWOODY IS RIGHT F.P.A. HAVE BETTER GROUND CLEARENESS. TOM

 My car isn't that low (G-78-15") tires up front, so ground clearance shouldn't be to much of a problem.
My Boss 429 Mustang has basically the same type header where the two front tubes go under the control arm
and the only bottoming I have is the collector flange, and yes you have to careful of speed bumps. I think the
Hooker 6115's have the same design for the Torinos.
