Ehaust manifolds

falcon65 · 06-14-2000, 11:03 PM

I have a 65 Flacon and have just installed a 90 5.0 with a 5sp. My problem (one of many) is that the drivers side exhaust manifold ports straight down and directly into my clutch cable. Is there a manifold (351W?) that ports straight back towards the firewall or even at a 45 degree angle? Has anyone installed a 5sp w/clutch cable? How did you correct this problem?

Exhaust for a 289, which was available in the 65 Falcon, should do the trick. I'd just go ahead and order a set of headers for a 289 equipped Falcon. They shouldn't be that steep. I hate to make a huge assumption, but since the Mustang was based on the same platform, I would think it's the same part as a Mustang. I've never owned a Falcon though, so check with someone who KNOWS.
