In the various books that I have there is no mention of a torque spec. As a basic rule I generally set 3/8" to a max of 35 Ft. Lbs and 5/16" to 25. But I would like to know if there are Ford specs as well, maybe somebody with factory data will chime in.

As far as the broken flange goes, two words-----Wrecking-----Yard.

I was at the IH dealer in town this last week discussing this very project and they were real clear about being carefull not to break anything.

Best.

If you go to Ford for an oil cooler, do sit down before you hear the price.

The rear header is about 400 dollars new from them.
It has been a while since I priced an oil cooler, the total price was well over 1000 dollars.
If I remember right, the cooler bundle alone was around 1000 dollars.
Front header, I did not price seperate.
