HEADERS FOR A 460

Anyone install headers on a '88 F250 with a 460? What brand fits with the least hassles? Thanks

Look around a bit there are some good threads about headers. Look up L&L products, headman, and doug thorey. those seem to be the ones brought up the most around here. i decided to just build my own as nothing on the market really fit my needs 100%.

Banks makes good but very pricey headers for the 460.

I've done many car header installs. There is always a ding, a bang or a #%#!. I need to get it on in a day. I want to get a coated set. This truck needs to last 5-8 yrs. I don't want to beat a set of coated headers.

I seen on Spike TV's trucktv videos they use some nice headers different builds type up on google "budget 460 build" and it should bring up spikes videos about amazing buget builds with 460's

Do they give you extra power? I was wondering if I only want to install headers maybe high flow cat and high flow exhaust, do I need to also add a bigger carb? What size carb if I would only add headers and full exhaust?
