390 4x4 headers???
any one know of a good set of fe 4x4 headers?
i bought a diy headers but lack the time to build them cause i am by no means a exhaust man.
i want 2 inch primaries into 3.5 collector. if a set that had a primary length of 32-36 inches would be ideal.

You must have alot of motor to be needing 2 inch primaries. I think that most of the headers out there will fit well, especially considering i had a set of cheap flowtechs on my 76 and they fit perfectly

I bought a set of Sanderson headers (PN FF427) for my 2wd 360FE Bumpside project...3/8-inch flanges at the head and collector and made in the USA 
. Plain steel for $325 or ceramic coated for much more.
They'll fit a 4x4 too and ya don't have to jack up the engine to install or remove them!
These are ceramic coated:

Head modification is forbidden but port matching the intake to the head is not.
And all the 1 3/4" primary headers have to small of ports for the d2te head. Needs to have a bigger port than the head to prevent reversion.
I just need a good fenderwell header to finally run a collector as there is no room for one inside the frame.
I learned that the hard way when the yoke on the driveshaft smashed the collector and destroyed the driver side header.
Since I am the only one in the club running a fe, I have to have my engine preform at its best.
And my ford builders book is saying to run 2 inch primaries 32 to 36 inches long into a 3.5 inch collector into a pipe that's 18 to 20 inches long and then have a bent dump tip.
And aim it 45 degrees out and it will have a mean rap.

That seems pretty cheap for a set of headers. When you put them on did you have to heat tape wrap the starter to insulate it from the headers?
