i have a 96 250 van with 351w. has a.i.r pipe in the exaust manifolds (not in the head). what shorty headers should i buy that are going to give me the least amount of problems installing? without spending a ton of cash. the engine is only being installed in the van temporary so it can be used as a parts hauler (its getting a 460 and will be 4x4 later on when i have collected all the parts) i know bisanti headers are the best for the trucks. but to buy them for this truck is a waste of money. the vans take all the same parts as the pick ups. there are so many posts about headers i have know idea what ones to buy for the 351w with air in the manifolds and retain the factory y pipe. this truck has 4 o2 sensors just looking for headers that will hook up to everything and they have to be built for a 351w because 302 headers are not the same. people with a 95-95 truck or bronco with 5.8`s know what i`am talking about even if i have to weld some bungs fo o2`s thats no big deal mostly concerned with the air pipe problem i know there is headers that have this already installed or come with the parts to make them work.

 

looking for members input who have put headers on 95-96 trucks and broncos with 351w air in manifolds thanks

 

You answered your own question, bassani headers....but just like you said they are pretty spendy just to use temporarily. I have the bassani's installed and are awsome...didnt have ONE problem but of course they are staying there!

I am not quite sure what other hearders out there have the EGR hookup, good luck...just search around im sure you can find something.

 

I had an F250 with the 351w and although I would have liked the bassanis, price did not allow for them. I was eyeing the Gibson headers - direct fit like the bassanis and 50 state smog legal.
