how much are the FE cast iron factory shorty headers worth?

 

The 428 cj factory cast irons are going for around a grand to the right person. You need someone that wants factory correct. They also have to have the compatible heads.

find the right guy who wants them and they'll easily bring $800 plus....I've seen them go for over 1K on ebay.

 

a guy at my work has them and he wants $300 maybe ill buy them and flip em for a profit. but finding a buyer is the hard part.

 

Or are they like these? My brother got $350 out of these and they had a broken ear. I forgot what they came from.

 

These are not 428 CJ's.

 

If this here is right, they are '60 to (?)'63 Galaxie manifolds:

Exhaust Manifolds

 

Did the OP say anything about CJ's? No. Everyone else assumed that they were CJ's.

 

Could be the way he posted the pic. Don't get your pantys in a knot.

 

Well if you're going to split hairs here, the CJ's are not headers either. The 427 iron shorty's are more "header" like than the CJ's were. And the OP asked about headers, not manifolds.

 

If I remember correctly the factory called them cast iron headers just like they did the K code headers. No other exhaust manifolds to my knowledge were called headers by Ford. If you want to split hairs help yourself.

 

I've always referred to them as headers, but whatever you call them they're pretty cool.

In this link Exhaust.htm they're referred to as both headers and manifolds.

 

I've never heard the CJ units refered to as "headers" You're the only one who seems to view them as such.

 

Take a look at this: FE Factory Exhaust Manifolds

Which one set looks like the ones you've got?

I have a 1966 F250 4x4 V8 that I plan to swap the stock 352 for a 427 s-o once I get my build done. The 406 shorty headers are one of the only factory headers that fit this combo and the passengers side top frame rail still requires a small notch cut out.
