hello people,

I am in a predicament. I am stuffing a 460 and c-6 into
my 49 f-1. I think i need shorty headers but would prefer
long tube. Can any body tell me about what might fit or if you have
a good used set laying around, of either style.
Thanks for any input.
Ron

 

Ron,
gud luck

I put a 460/c-6 in a '53 which has wider frame and with a Volare front clip had a hell of a time finding something to fit... Sanderson split a set from two different models that finally worked. I hit the upper control arms on the right side. After thinking my clearance problems would be on the left !!!

Give them a call and see what they offer... they are very helpful and have a load of 460 headers... but they ain't cheap $465 for jet coated set...

hope it helps

john

 

Thanks, john
appreciate the info. do you happen to remember which sets they
used?. My chassis is stock width, w/ the MII front suspension.
I also set the motor back almost to the firewall, about 1/2" clear
from firewall to back of the valve cover.
Tnx, Ron

 

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET A SET OF HEADERS WITH AT LEAST 2-1/8 OR 2-1/4 PRIMARYS DOWN TO A 3-1/2 TO 4 INCH COLLECTOR FOR A 460 WITH COBRA JET HEADS (OVAL PORTS). IT'S GOING IN A 66 FORD F-100 TRUCK. THANKS JOE

 

Why are you Yelling ?

Turn the CAPS off please.
It's considered yelling and it's also *Hard to read*.

Post in lower case instead.

Thanks
