92 headers

Looking at running headers and need suggestions. I was looking at the summit brand or the flowtechs...I know there not the best but there simple is there anything majorly wrong with them? Or is there a better choice? Also I was considering full length style and running custome exhaust.....I will run custom regardless but anyhoo.

I have a set of Bassani's on my 351 and I love them. I've heard of bad fitment issues with some of the cheaper headers out there. The Bassani's fit perfect and have never leaked.

Cool What about the Y pipe Is there an option for that? Or do I need go custom? I am going to eliminate the resinator and go with a highflow cat but untill I go custom, will they bolt right up to stock Y pipe?

Full lenghts wont bolt to the Y-pipe, shorties will. Many people run the ones from summit($169.95) and have no problems.

As long as the bolts come out easy its not all that bad, I used a rachet impact wrench on mine which made it alot easier.

I had BBKs and they did not bolt up to the Y pipe on my 96 "inch off", I then got ford racing headers and they were much better..I sent my BBKs back and they are suppose to be sending me a brand new set..If you have a 5.8L engine I can give you a good deal on them as I no longer need them...Let me know

Oh man, just get standard shorties....Equal length shorties are not worth the heartache of changing out sparkplugs.
