Question Headers??

Can any tell me about a header for a 59' 223 I6? Who makes one? How much? My exhaust manifold is cracked?

Cliford performace,they have lots of inline-6 stuff, 4-v intakes ,6-v intakes, headers, 6 into 1, or 6 into 2 , I put hedmans on a 300-I6 one time, and they made a big power different,even with the 1-v carb! Also it made the truck sound like a built V-8.

Patriot has headers to fit the 223 on 53-56 trucks. H8425 (uncoated), and H8425-1 (coated). Summit lists it as PTE-H8425

Sacramento Vintage Ford has part number 12572 PICKUP HEADER- 223 6CYL 1948-64

You can get flanges to make your own, but it's no cheaper than buying the complete headers: https://www.headersbyed.com/ford4,6,.htm

Is the layout the same from 56 to 60? Will there be a clearence issue? Will 4x4 make a difference?

You may have to grind off some tabs like Cudaz101 had to do: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/4...23-header.html
