Searching for headers
Hello everyone and thanks for taking a second to read my post. I’m looking for long tube headers for my 1995 f150 351w 2wd for my future rebuild project. The reason why I’m having such a hard time is because I can’t find any that have smog/egr tube hole in the front of the passenger side header. If anyone could help it would be appreciated

Won’t find long tubes with emissions that I know of. Can get long tubes and have a muffler shop weld in bungs for emissions sensors.
long story short if you live in a. Place that requires strict emissions cough cough commifornia, not worth the extra 10hp for the hassle and money.
Do a 6 liter tune and if you want serious hp run a smog friendly top end kit. Stock headers flow well enough its the intake side that’s gonna cause the majority of your restriction.
on a budget : roller rockers and edelvrock high flow intake.

I have a set of speed daddy stainless headers (cheap eBay ss set) on my 5.8l with egr port, hooked up and functional. They didn't fit well but a few hours ovaling flange holes, ports, and modifying the primary that was blocking the starter location got them squared away. Been on the truck 3 years now, haven't had any issues. Fitment sucked initially though, can't stress that enough.

I bought the 72C2223 a year ago, cheapest then was RockAuto, easy enough to cut a hole, and weld a pipe if you really want EGR.
