Hedman makes a wide variety of long tube headers for Mustangs and they are pretty decent on there pricing compared to Hooker and some other brands. JBA makes an awesome mid-length header that will clear the Z bar but they are a little bit more money. My dads currently running a set of JBA mid-lengths w his AOD and they are a well designed excellent quality header.

I tried to fix your question a bit since it hurt to read. This should help you get some more responses.

thanks it needed it ,,, so we are thinking about going to Hi Po exhaust manifold just for the ease of it

I would go to the hooker headers if you wanted to change brands. I would not go to shorty headers, they do not give you horsepower and torque gains like long tube headers. I would not go back to hi-po exhaust manifolds, they are too restrictive.

i wounder if they are better than Tri-Y we had to beat them just so we could turn the car the pitman are hit real bad ???

JBA mid-lengths ftw! As stated above.. awesome header, high quality, and they give great power.

I switched from tube headers to HP manifolds after years of dealing with the heat, noise and leaks of the tubes. Other than a tiny power loss at very high rpm, no problems at all since then, and how often do you tach it up to 6000? With me maybe a couple times a day, but most even less than that.

About the Tri-Y getting hit by the equalizer- Use the 289HP equalizer, and if necessesary, use a 65 upper rod and 66 lower rod to get more adjustability.

tell me more about the equalizer,,,and about use a 65 upper rod and 66 lower rod to get more adjustability.
thanks

The 289HP equalizer tucks the lower arm closer to the engine block. The 65 clutch was adjusted using a threaded upper rod. The 66 was adjusted using a threaded telescopic lower rod. Using the 66, you simply make the rod a length that will not contact the Tri-Y's, then adjust the linkage 65 style using the upper rod.
