I have been looking for a set of headers fo my 84 ford 2wd with a 300 straight six in it any one know where i can find a cheep pair

 

E-Bay - Look under "clifford" & "offenhauser" Every once and a while you'll find someone who is selling hedder, intake & carb for a 300.

also look under "80-86 ford", "Ford 300", &" Ford 4.9"

Keep looking, a hedder will come up sooner or later some place.

Used go fo about $75 -$100. New $100 - $125.

 

A new set of clifford's run like $250-300..

ouch.

 

Pacesetter, Hedman, and Dynomax are on average $140. Hookers are $329, Clifford I don't know, but a lot of people seem to have trouble installing them. Check Summit Racing and Jegs.

 

would I have to have to pull the motor out or lift it up at all to get the headers on

 

No, not that I've got around to putting headers on my 6. But from what I've gathered from also asking this question is they can be put right on, some are said to hit the smog pump bracket, my big problem is my truck is a 4x4 and for some reason they only make them for 2wd, but I e-mailed pacesetter and they said there headers would fit, Hedman said there's wouldn't, so I'll have to make a desicion pretty soon. Either put headers, intake, cam, carb, get the head worked, on my 225K six or do the 351W swap and build that up, my 6 is startin to lose power, so I'm leaning towards 351W right now if I can find a cheap long block.

 

same here im looking into a 351 but not sure by what i read if in hp huge gain and if the frame will support it.

 

you won't have a problem if you go to a 351W from a 300-6, unless, of course, you have a stroked, blown, nitroused 1200HP 351w.

 

I put clifford headers on my I300 {1981} and a offenhauser intake and a holley 390cfm not too much hassle, truck really runs but idle is a little rough I also took off all of the smog stuff don't know how I am going to get it smogged next year but i will worry about it then, maybe out of state registration hbar harry

 

There is a new Clifford hedder on E-Bay now and the last bid is $79.00

 

I used the factory headers from and 89 300 six according to the flow test's they flow as well as the after market headers and they will last a lot longer. $80.00 salvaged.

 

wtroger - That's what I hear for low RPM & "daily driver" applications. If you live in a location with a lot of snow & salt - EFI is the way to go.

I have also decided to go with the EFI exhaust manifolds; however, I've had a terrible time with getting a good Walker y-pipe.
