Mustang Headers

Has anyone used the headers off of a 5.0 Mustang ( 1989 ) on these trucks (91 F150) Do they fit well and how easy is it to have exhaust pipes made ?

It will make a huge difference if it is a 4*4 or a 4*2. I have a set on an 1981 F150 4*2 and they work fine. My engine mount braces (they are behind the crossmember and and diagonally attach the frame to the crossmember) were notched for a different engine combo years ago, so I don't know if they would clear without a little bit of notching.

The Mustang manifolds will fit the heads but won't fit the stock exhaust pipes. So there will need to be some fabrication to make it work.

How do these headers compare to cheap shorty headers from Summit (Like the Summit brand or the Flowtech's).

Any issues using on a 4x4?
