RE: 390GT using 428 CJ Exhaust Manifolds
By John Bednorz - 03/15/2005 11:48:49 AM; IP 198.246.249.35
If your 390 motor still has the original heads it has what is known as the "14-bolt" exhaust pattern. There will be 14 threaded bolt holes on the exhaust side of the heads. Three of the exhaust ports will have four mounting holes (two horizontal and two vertical). The fourth port will have only two vertical holes. There were special exhaust manifolds made for this bolt pattern and they are commonly known as 390GT exhaust manifolds.

Cobra Jet exhaust manifolds were designed for the "16-bolt" pattern on the Cobra Jet heads, where each exhaust port has two horizontal and two vertical bolt holes surrounding it. IIRC Cobra Jet exhaust manifolds will bolt up properly to all the 390GT exhaust ports except for the rear ones.

Passenger car heads only have 8 exhaust holes - 2 vertical holes on each port. You need headers to use these heads in a Mustang.

Before ordering headers you need to ascertain which heads (and which exhaust bolt pattern) you have.
