i have a 64 1/2 with a 302 so i bought some flowtech headers i could not get the passenger side on so then i thought it's the inside of the fender not letting it go fowerd so i figure i take a hammer toit that still didn't do it so now i have a biger problem the headers ain't worth nothing at least one side has anyone had this problem how did you fix it and can the header befixed........should'ev just bought the tri y headers.....

 

Don't know about fixing the header, but I have run into similar problems in the past. Sometimes you must raise the engine a little to finagle the header in.

 

The header can be repaired, but the job will involve at least some welding of the relatively thin header tubing. Just what you'll need to do depends on how much of a dent (dents?) you're looking to remove and what sort of access you have. BTDT.

headers are always fun i have had times i had to unbbolt the motor mounts and jack it up almost 2 inchs to get headers on.

 

JBA shorties FTW!!

 

I helped a friend put a set on his 65. You HAVE to jack the motor. They shoud fit ok. Its just a pain to get them in.

 

I have Flowtech on my Windsor stroker. They fit fine down low, just took a little precusion therapy up by the heads to get the bolts in.

 

the automatic cars use a diffrent fitment then manual equiped cars so check to make sure to have the right application I have hooker super comps on my 66 the require a little patience and sometimes jacking of the motor!![>:]

 

would you recomend me puting it back on even with the dents i put in it or do you guys recomend me try and find someone to fix them?

 

i wouldnt dent a header ever your restricting exhaust flow id buy another set mine came from http://www.fordpowertrain.com/FPAindex/headers1.htm they fit great.shorties are useless they dont flow much over the stock manifolds and are about the same price as full headers. better off staying with the old cast iron manifolds go with long tube or tri y.
