Default FPA Headers Rule !! with pic

Just got my new FPA headers yesterday. hated to pay $775 but after only 20 minutes to put them on and they are 1 5/8 full long tube headers which tuck up almost completely above the frame rails and there looks and quality are a 10. way worth it. put them on my new 331 Stroker. 1966 Fastback

I had considered getting them, but couldn't justify the price. I have JBA mid length headers on mine. Do you have any pictures?

Yea FPAs are great. They make pretty much only ford applications, Tell them what heads your running and theyll match the port. What trans you have and all your specs for suspension and theyll make it work

I thought about going with them when I got my Tri-Y's, but went with Doug's because of the large primary size. FPA makes great headers though and are one of the few out there that work well and fit well. You get what you pay for. =)

Post pics to see how they clear?

mine were $775 with a full ceramic coating. they are full long tube 1 5/8. i have a T-5 with a cable clutch and the cable clears the headers easily.

I have a T5 with clutch cable too. Thats why I was really considering the FPA headers. The ones I have work great though.
