Tri-Ys are the only choice with your C8AE-H heads.
By Dave Shoe - 04/11/2004 12:42:46 PM; IP 216.243.176.34
Hooker car headers are fine with C6AE-R, CJ, Edelbrock, and 1958-65 castings, but not for the other heads of the era. They simply don't port match the heads. Note that 1958-65 castings are difficult to install in Fairlane and Mustang applications, due to the limited number of exhaust bolt bosses cast into the head.

You can expect exhaust leaks across the bottom of the port due to lack of gasket crush, and the added turbulents of the mismatch won't be working in your favor, either.

Your best (only) option is FPA headers for the 390GT Fairlane, not the 428 Fairlane. They will far outperform the wimpy 390 Fairlane/Mustang exhaust manifold, and sho a notable improvement over the CJ exhaust manifold.

 Pre-66 heads are a match. -- Dave Shoe, 04/12/2004
