| RE: hugger headers |

As far as I know, there were only a few "headers" made for the FE.
There were long cast iron manifolds, short cast iron manifolds - both of these were for 427's. Then, there were the CJ cast iron manifolds.
I am by no means an expert on these. I believe the first two were designed for the Galaxie body style, but they may fit the Mustang/Cougar/Fairlane model line. The CJ manifolds were designed for the Mustangs, but they require the 16 bolt CJ heads.
All of the other manifolds I've seen were your normal restrictive garden variety.
The only headers I've ever seen for an FE from the factory were the bundle-of-snakes for the T-bolt - but you can't really call them factory headers. Heck, even the Shelbys had manifolds.
I've seen factory over-the-counter headers, but I'm not calling them "factory".
All of the manifolds sell for around $500. Unless you need original headers, I'd go with the FPA headers. They're also around $500, but I think they're worth it. I've also heard good things about Crites. The Hookers seem to make the most power, but they should be considered a strip-only option, 'cause they have lousy ground clearance. |
