Cant find headers!

Hey guys im new to fte but could use some help finding headers. I have a 1978 250 ranger 4x4 with a 460 and c6. The engine is a 1973 460. I am having no end of trouble trying to find aftermarket exhaust manifolds or headers to replace my cracked stock exhaust manifolds. Any help or ideas would be incredibly appriciated. thx

My L&L's looked better than that brand new. That bolt looks like it could get in the way

I paid half what you did AND I have much larger tubes...........that was the main reason I went with the mad dogs.........that and L&L's warrantee does not apply to the rust belt which I am in.......my buddy had a set of L&L's they started to chip and loose thier coating L&L said that he lived in Ohio "rust belt state" they would recoat them at HIS expense


I'll keep my mad dogs......................you can have your L&L's!!!

What the hell could ever happen to a L&L outboard header ?

I don't need to talk to a third party over my header warranty, I know what it says.

if you go with the mad dogs you need to have them coated........but after I had mine coated I'm still $200 less than the L&L's

the up side is that the MD headers have a bigger primary and collector tubes than the L&L's............460's need to breathe............

Without dyno results who knows for sure ? I'd be betting the smaller tubes would work better on the posters truck. L&L is making big tube BB headers now, so I was told.
