98-e250 headers

Hey guys i have a 98 e-250 that i rebuilt the 5.4 with pi heads, pi pistons, higher compression, and a pi intake. i went to put the manifolds on before installing it today and i cannot get the broken studs out of the manifolds and the fitting on the egr pipe broke.

so i have two broken studs that are seized to hell and a cut egr pipe seized in it. drilling the studs is a possibility.

The passenger manifold is the same as a f-250 but the driver is different, the egr pipe comes out differently and the angle of the flange is different. so shorties will not bolt in but will long tubes work? i was told the chassis were the same on the LD f-250's. does anybody know for sure, im considering getting the OBX long tubes with the crossover pipe.

BTW i live in oklahoma so we don't have emissions tests.

i went ahead and bought a set of pacesetter longtubes for a 99-03 f-150, LD f-250 for 305 shipped.

after looking at a co-workers 03 5.4 F-150 i decided the truck was a lot tighter than the vans exhaust and at long as it clears the truck i should clear.

ill use the stock 2.5 y pipe and maybe a thrush turbo muffler later for the stock 3" tail pipe.

got them in and after about a two quarter inch deep dents in one primary and another one in a different primary and some serious grinding of the motor mount i got the driver side bolted on and put the engine in the E-250 Super. it clears everything else great, and the passenger side slides in great.

ill have a y-pipe made at the local exhaust shop.

i'll be happy with it when it's all said and done. i bought it for 1000 with a knocking rod.

-New PI intake
-Re-man PI heads
-.030 PI pistons
-PI cams
-Factory Forged Crank
-Decked Block .040 to raise compression to aprx. 9.5-9.7:1 and increase quinch
-Long tube headers

To Come:

-Flowmaster 50 SUV or Big Block
-SCT Tuner
-A remote mounted turbo behind the Y-pipe at 4-6 PSI IF I WANT more umph.

WHOLE PURPOSE: To haul my race truck and expand my shop.
