Just a little help ,if you can. I've got a '66 Coupe w/a Heidts front end and a 385 block w/TrickFlo heads.Does anyone have an idea of what headers might be available? Any information would be GREATLY appreciated.

 

I think custom is your only hope since the steering is moved from the stock spot.But try talking to http://www.fordpowertrain.com/FPAindex/FPA%20index1.htm

 

whats a 385? 351w stroked? how is that a big block?

 

385 engine family, type of Ford big block

 

oh, 429 and 460 family

 

Hey ’66 tang,thanks so much for taking time to answer my thread.I’m afraid I missed your header information.Oh,you didn’t leave any. The whole idea here is for someone to ask a question and then other Mustang enthusiasts try to answer those questions.Perhaps you should do some reading or research a little more before shooting off your mouth and confirming what everyone already knows.A “385 block” IS a big block.It’s the engine family from which the 429/460 come from.Also,I didn’t post a question in order to fulfill your need to inform me of the cost of restoring or modifying a 1966 Mustang.I’m so sorry to hear you feel it’s a “ bottomless money pit”.I think that is an individual decision we all face.Unless you have some information on headers that will fit my application,I think we are done.Have a good life.

 

Thanks a lot. I had not seen this site and they show 351C headers for my year. It's a good place to start,thanks again.

 

Or look around locally for speed or chassis shops they can build you a set of headers just drop the car off for a few days.

 

I put a 460 in a Mustang ll and there are no header manufacturers that make headers for a 460 in a Mustang ll or a 460 in a 66.
I got a set of 460 truck headers and cut the flange off and cut the pipes apart from the collectors. Then I put the flange on the motor and one by one fit the pipes to the space that I had. You may have to even go to a tri-Y configuration. You or someone you know has the skills to put a 460 in a 66, making a set of headers should be easy.

 

I too hate people that can't stick to a topic, but I wouldn't be so quick on the trigger there. If in fact you had a stroked 351 there are headers to fit and help to be given. All too many people post on these boards thinking their Cleveland or whatever is a big block so this may have been nothing but an attempt to point a possible misdirected soul in the right direction. And as for his tagline? A 66 IS a money pit! I own a 65 which is the same and can vouch for that.
