Stan's VS FPA

Okay Guys/Gals, I can't decide between the Stan's and the FPA headers. Can anyone who has used either one give me some feedback?

For what it's worth, I do have a 7qt rear sump Canton pan on it., and a Powermaster mini-starter.

Thanks,

Ken

According UPS tracking, my FPA headers are on my porch. Hopefuly, I'll have some real positive feedback on these soon. They will be going into a 69 F250 Chassis with the Bendix steering box and a C6 transmission.

Unfortunately, I am still awaiting the 428 stroker they will be mated to. FYI, they will be mated to Edelbrock Aluminum heads.

I just posted my recent experience with Stan's install in my '74 hi-boy in the 73-77 forum. Have nothing but happy thoughts about them so far! They fit nicely and are a good-looking fabrication. Steve

WOW, at first glance and even upon closer inspection, I like the way these FPA headers look:

Just at a glance, it looks like the tri-Y design will clear my Bendix power steering box. That was the biggest problem I had with the Dynomax.

These came complete, with gaskets, collectors and all bolts/washers :-)


But, they weren't cheap at $655 delivered.

$655 for FPA's? Mine for my 68 Monterey were only $430 delivered. They look and fit nicely , can't say as they're worth the money though, I've had cheaper sets fit just as well, although they probably wouldn't last as long as the FPA's. If I'd a had a cheaper choice for the Monterey, I'd have skipped on the FPA's

I paid an extra $200 for the Ceramic coating. That's part of the $655. Standard Nickel-Chrome coating are around $430.
