Dont worry about it....... By kevin - 10/06/2002 11:07:17 AM; IP 209.240.198.63 they will drop right in there. I have even swapped 289 headers in depending on brand. All 65-up are twin I beam. Its just Fords term, and you will see if you look at the inner pivot mountings what it means. The other styles are straight axle, a single beam connecting each sides spindles, supported by leaf springs, an "A" frame set up that has pivots at the frame and uses a coil spring (GM) or a torsion bar (Dodge) with A frames, that uses no springs and relies on the twisting of a shaft to control the suspension. Just make sure you get a set of headers that have rectangular openings, as some are oval, and are harder to seal, but I weld up every header no matter what its for (around the outside of the tube where it joins the flange) and grind the openings to suit me. This way,they dont rust out, or crack, and can supprt an unhung muffler's weight if you want to just bolt them to the collector.

This thread, so far...
