90 Bronco 5.0 headers

Do a search in this forum.... I've seen other posts on this subject. In short, I believe that they will fit, although they will not bolt up to your stock Y-pipe (you'll need to have another one made).

Mustang headers do not have o2 senser ports. You would have to put one in the y pipe.

they wont work to well because they route so close to the firewall. get some headers that were built for your rig and you will be much happier. also dont get those jive summit headers that are $160. I have a pair and the workmanship are lousy and they blow gaskets really easily. im on my second set of gaskets in 3 months. i really wish i had spent a little more on some edelbrock or gibson headers.

didnt work, plus those headers have an oval port instead of a rectangle ports. got some good ones on now with some copper gasket on as well. so we will see how it last now.

got rid of those headers and the 302. swapped in a 351 and just got some used jba's for it that will go on this summer. the paper still didnt hold up, so got some nice graphite gaskets and some copper silicon and that worked for awhile till the motor came out.

later

well the summit headers i was running had round ports instead of square ports. none of the parts store carried round port gaskets and i could wait for them to orders some. so just used some spendy ones and lots of copper silicon which actually worked very well for the last few weeks i ran that motor. Now i got a 351 in her and some jba in the shed for this summer.
