I'm looking at a set of pacesetters that are in the $200 neighbor hood..catch is that it says they fit 97-01 5.4L motors.

I just posted a tantalizing tid bit in my gallery!
Let me know what you think!
Well, they will be for sure going on this Saturday, talked my wife's boss into letting us use their race car shop for the weekend.
I'll have some pictures, but they won't be high quality, as my Cannon S1IS is being repaired, but I will have pictures none-the-less.
Racerguy, do you have any idea what the torque should be on the header bolts? I posted it earlier...

good luck with the torque wrench. I didn't have much. I had to torque the few I could get to and get a feel from them with a wrench. Then torque the rest with a normal wrench using the "feel". Worked good. Havent had any leaks yet.

It is now official!
I just updated my gallery with more pictures.
I started yesterday morning at 8:00am and had the truck running by 3:00pm.
I had a boat load of trouble with getting the EGR tube to reach the new headers, but with a pipe wrench and a 4ft cheater bar, plus a friend, I finally persuaded the tube to go on the header after about a 1 hr of incessant cussing.
I still have plans for a tech article, but as of now I just posted some pics in my gallery.
So far I feel that they were well worth the 7 hrs it took to put them in my self.
The motor really pulls harder in the 1500 rpm + range. This comming weekend I will be going on a hunting trip, so I am curious to see if there is any mpg gains.
