Header Decision

CAN ANYONE OUT THERE TELL ME WHAT BRAND OF HEADER WOULD BE GOOD FOR ME? I HAVE A 1985 F250 SUPERCAB 2WD 460 THAT I WOULD LIKE TO PUT HEADERS ON BUT AM NOT SURE WHICH BRAND I SHOULD GO WITH. I AM WONDERING ABOUT CLEARANCE AND EASE OF THE INSTALL AS WELL AS THE QUALITY OF THE HEADER ITSELF.

THANKS

thats an easy one the headman fits the best, the part number for them is 89280. they will run you about 120.00 in plain steel, and about 250.00 in ceramic coating.. Kurt

hey 85crewcab, caps lock is form of shouting on the forums. I like the headmans as well but you usually get what you pay for on most headers.

regretably, with people living in the salt belt, i have yet to see headers, even coated last for more than two seasons. here in az we have another problem, and thats the heat. i have had my share of both coated and no coated headers crack, in all brands. plus the excess heat cause severe flange warpage. even in 3/8.. i have learned to keep it good but cheap. this will save alot of greif of throwing a 350 set of headers away. that is the reason for the choice of headman headers. i like the hookers but at 200 for a set of non coated, that wont last any longer, doesn't do it for me. just my opinion on a sticky subject...
