These are Sanderson model FF2 mounted on a 302 in a 56 F100 chassis. I wanted to have the left side modified to bring the collector out away from the oil pan and closer to the center of the gap between the PS box and the engine but I guess it was too hard for the manufacturer to accomplish. They sent me a set of FF5 headers and hoped that I would be happy...wrong. You may want to look at the FF5 headers as well, they drop more towards the center and the collector sits higher than the FF2. Where you have your engine positioned will have a bearing on how well the FF5 headers may work.

CharlieLed, I have the stock (87 T-bird) headers on it now, but I don't have a steering column in it, so I'm not sure how this will all play out. Thanks for the information!

I am using Blackjacks for a Cleveland Torino that I bought from Jegs and then modified a coupe of tubes. Had them ceramic coated and they look great, they also have a sealing ring around the port to help seal the gasket. I am hearing some complaints about Sanderson, granted, they have a big job doing headers the way they do, but I have not been impressed with the service after the sale.JMHO
