What headers has the best fit for a 1958 Edsel/Fairlane with an FE?

For pre made I'd say FPA up in Ore or Wash. Have to check my receipt. They're NICE

Do you know how mutch they cost, and do they have any dealers?

No dlrs that I know of. I bought direct. Not cheap but good quality.

So you dont remember what you paid for them?

Crites makes them for a 390 swap. Ground clearance is an issue because of the front tubes running underneath the control arms. I bought a set for a 429-460 swap and they fit pretty good, I think they were about $350.00, the 390-428 ones are probably the same price.

Coated they are over $700...spendy, but fit well.

Ok, thanks everyone! I think ill go for Crites. FPA may be better but a lot more expensive...
