Well, put it this way, I have installed a few sets of LT headers on 5.0 foxbodies. They are ALL a pain in the a$$ no matter what brand, size, etc. I have paid from 300 to almost 900 for headers and they all suck *** putting on. I have not heard about flowtechs quality in a while but to my knowledge they are not that great.... I wouldnt be suprised if you end up having an extremely hard time installing.

Oh yea, and everything looks easy until your doing it lol

IF YOU FOLLOW the directions and cut the flange the flowtech are piece together long tubes..I have them on my 85 and big mistake it was cutting the flange like instructions said, cause I ended up having to wrap the joints to get them to seal

because that's the way they are made to be installed, you piece them in so no jacking up of the engine is needed and or steering shaft removal is needed
