MAC Longtube headers for Cobra transplant

cobrabird55 · 10-05-2001, 10:36 PM

I am installing a 97 Cobra engine into a '55 T-Bird and needing dimensions on the subject headers. The dimensions needed are: lowest header height above (or below) bottom of oil pan, Collector end distance (left and right)behind block/bellhousing junction, Collector center distance (left and right) from drivetrain centerline. Photos would be great also in anyone has some that would show the relationships requested above. Thanks in advance.

I don't know the dimensions but i will tell you that I've heard from several people to stay away from the MAC longtubes.. There have been many engine oil consumpion problems wih these headers for some reason. Go with the BBK (Brothers Performance)headers instead. I've heard nothing but praise for them.
