| Supercomps don't port match with C7AE-A heads. |
| By Dave Shoe - 05/07/2003 9:36:05 AM; IP 216.243.176.34 |
Hooker truck headers are rumored to work with C7AE-A heads.
Be aware that Hooker headers for cars don't port match to the low-exit FE heads. Besides the flow issues related to a 5/16" port mismatch on the top and bottom of the port, there is insufficient gasket crush at the weld bead along the lower portion of the port, generating an irritating series of exhaust leaks.
You need to get away from C6AE-J, -L, -U, -Y, C7AE-A, C8AE-H, and D2TE-AA and go towards 1958-65 heads, or C6AE-R, CJ, or 427 heads for a proper port match.
FPA (fordpowertrain.com) has headers that will work in a car - make sure you get the ones with the proper flange - and some other manufacturers also make the proper header.
