RE: Shorty Headers? |

I can tell you for a fact that I bought a 1965 Merc Merauder, 4 door hardtop with 390-4V. That engine had orange Mercury pentroof style valve covers. I bought this car from the orginal owner. It was a leaking rust bucket of a car but the price was right for a 390-4V. But I've got a question for RC about those shorty cast iron headers on your '66 Parklane. How did they fit? I have found out personally that the '60-'64 HP/Police shorties do not fit properly on '65-up Galaxies. The right/passenger side will work but not that driver's side due to steering box interference. Although I did see a determined guy make 'em fit by shimming the motor mounts on a '65 XL/410 modified combination. So maybe you bought this car from someone who was as determined as my friend was? Police exhaust manifolds on '65-up are not at all like the good old shorty HPs. I was just wondering. |
