What type of headers are these?

Bad89stang · 01-18-2002, 02:34 AM

Anyone recognize this brand of header? Will it fit a fox body mustang? I was told that they will, but the source is not a Mustang expert. I have a MAC off-road H-pipe and need to know if these will work. Any help would be appreciated.

Dosn't look like they are mustang headers for a 302. It looks more like a truck header for a f-150. It could be a shorty header for a mustang with a 351 in it, but I don't think so.

I was thinking the same thing, because of the way the collectors go straight down. Mustang headers curve back a little more towards the H pipe. Thanks for your help.

willnot work with your H-pipe it looks like a Hot rod header not for a Fox Body I am sure of that

They should "fit" your Fox body in the sense that they will bolt to the engine and not give you clearance issues.

They will not bolt to your factory style H-pipe, you would have to fabricate one.

They look like JBA headers for an early stang. My buddy has a 65 with that style headers but I could be wrong.

That'd be the funniest looking small block chevy that I've ever seen. I agree with wads, I think they are a truck header. The only early mustang headers I've seen are the Tri-Y's. I dont think the driver side of these would clear the steering on a late model stang.

Those are block hugger style headers used on streetrods. I know b/c we build streetrods and have used them before.

I agree that they are not Chevy headers, but with Ford adopting GM's valve arrangement, and the new GM V8's using the Ford valve arrangement, they just might fit.

Take care,

Since everyone seemed to disagree with my suggestion...I thought I should check again.....We have an 86 IROC Z 28 in our backyard and yes the headers are VERY similar....but the headers in the picture have to be ford headers b/c the 2 exhaust chambers are further apart from each other than chevy.So I guess I was wrong....

You were close. The difference you are referring to is due to the arrangement of the valves. Traditional small block Ford heads alternate between intake and exhaust the same way across the head (from left to right: Ex/Int/Ex/Int/Ex/Int/Ex/Int). Traditional small block Chevy's have a valve configuration that alternates on each head (from left: Ex/Int/Int/Ex/Ex/Int/Int/Ex).

Take care,
