Header on 4.9?

Hey guys, something else I'm looking into. How would I put a header on my 300I6?? What tools would I need?

1994, EFI

Thanks in advance!

Try and do as much research as you can about them. Sometimes there can be interference problems with brackets, frame rails or intake.

If it is stock,just use the EFI exhaust manifolds.Available at your local salvage yard for $30.00 to $50.00 bucks.(edit)My bad.Did`nt notice that it is EFI already.

Note he is already EFI.

I wouldn't fool with it unless I was going to do other mods to the engine....

Thumbs up

Thanks very much to all of you. I'll have a few bucks saved up pretty soon and I'm wanting to put a header on ole' betsy, and a cold air intake. I noticed today she began running hot. Fortunately I was close to home.

Thanks again, I'm always grateful for anyone who has patience with me.

id pass on the cold air intake. the stock system is pretty efficent and the 300 doesnt turn the RPMs to require and sort of "short ram/ram air" intake.

search for project MPG on the web and look at the intake comparision...pretty interesting read.

I almost regret ordering it now. I could always canel it and spend the $180 elsewhere...
