millertime300: I've been lookin for headers for my 300 in an carbed 86 F-150 4x4 w/ a 4 spd. Those hedmans are only for 2wd, do see any reason why they wouldn't work on my 4x4? There is really nothing to get in the way. I also wanted to know if the offy was worth it and did you need the $99 adapter kit? I suppose you're using a edelbrock 500cfm, if so how does it handle it, b/c I really don't want that over priced Holley they want you to use.

Sorry for the double post.
Jakes69 I was refering to the fact that the M series motors use the big block bolt pattern. I wonder why Ford made so many motors anyway.

I got my hedman header from summit I think, it might have been jegs. I didn't have to buy an adapter. I did make a very very very simple throttle cable mount that I am sure you could make. My header does look like it would work on a 4X4. Look around the forums. Somone in here has a bronco with a 309 (300 with .30 or so over) He has a header, but it might be a clifford.
It says in his signature.
Yes my carb is a 500 cfm edelbrock. If I remember I had to get on size larger jet for the primaries. They are supper easy to work with. You work regret it. If edelbrock/carter made a smaller carb I would have bought it. But I will never again buy a Holley now that I have had an edelbrock/carter.
