shorty headers on 390 Fe
I posted this in the exhaust forum for three days no hits.
I was wondering if there are any shorty headers for a 390 Fe. I have been looking at every mag and on every website. nothing. I just figured that if i have to replace the blown maifold gasket I would upgrade to headers. The reason for the shorty is that I would only have to redo the beggining of the exhaust instead of the whole thing, like with full length headers. Thanks.

Thanks dffay, Do you have these on your truck? It says they fit 60-64 full size cars, but I'm wondering if they will work on a truck as well.

I have some factory cast headers that I tried on my 53 F-100. In order to shift the entire block to the right (passenger) side to line up with the depression in the firewall and line up with the rear end, they were too wide. I was also unable to fit the steering box I wanted to within the frame.
Shame really, they are cool vintage speed parts that I wanted on the truck. They are better left to a hot Galaxie set-up with the wide car frame.

The Sanderson headers I have on my 66 f-100, 390,were listed for the 427. It was just plain bitchin' how nice they fit. I plumbed them into 2 1/2" duals...music, just music. I also went with a gear reduction starter for a little more space...My one regret was that I cheaped out and painted mine. I have since then seen a set of the ceramic coated ones from Sanderson and they are PRETTY.oh yeah, when I installed them,one side went in from the top and the other side went in from the bottom.
