iron header question

Which old OEM iron galaxie header fits a 66 F100 with a 390? And a manual transmission.

It's for my dads 66 F100 SWB fleetside!

I was thinking of the old iron manifolds used on any of the FE performance engines, but, I don't want to get a set of CJ heads.

Man those old iron manifolds are things of beauty!

The shorties don't work? Pops high perf says his shorties work on FE's in 65-66's. Are they different then OEM?

I wish some exhaust manufacturer would build a shorty style header, as the ol logs lack good flow.

Who is pops?

Galaxie cast header manifolds are REALLY expensive. They show up on Ebay every now and then and bring huge dollars. You could have custom made headers for what a pair of those cost!

This guy;

eBay Store - POPS PERFORMANCE: Category 1 engine blocks, Category 10 intake systems, Category2 rotating assemblies

The iron shorty headers are on the third page. Guess it's safe to assume you don't know if they'l work on 65-66 trucks.

someone else?

I don't see any reason that a custom exhaust shop couldn't make them work. If ya gotta extra Five hundred smackers go for it. They are 8 bolt headers that will fit most any FE head.

Don't know anyone here off the top of my head that will know if they work or not.
