I found a place that has them for early mustangs. I know a lot of people are looking for these headers, I almost sold my GT40p's a while back but the guy couldn't find headers and backed out.

Some of the notes

Will fit Total Control Rack & Pinion Steering
Manual & power steer applications



Anyone ever deal with these guys?

See Sig

Got the FPA headers and still have gone through 2 sets of plugs. I have a very poor steering radius because I really had to drop my Power Steering.

FPT Tri Y's

I bought a set of the tri-y's when I had my Dart Srs on my 66. They fit better than the Hooker Comps I had, and the crappy $100 shelby style tri-y's, but there was still some interference with 1 of the plugs. I have since gone with a set of AFR 185's and can easily change plugs and not burn wires.

Hey 57 Fairlane

Those are nice looking headers. I just bought some GT-40 heads for my stang today. Those look COOL. Do they seat good?

The main issue is that the flanges are so so. We got in the habit of just using orange RTV instead of a gasket, so when using a gasket you might have issues and will want to mill/sandpaper/cut the flanges down where it sits on the head. You can kind of tell in the picture that they are not welded on the frontside of the flange, just on the back where it sits up with the head.

Again, using orange RTV there wasn't a problem.

The welds are quality. They look hand made and the fitment was perfect.

We used to do that on my buddy's late model stock car. We couldn't get the headers to seal up after one heat cycle, with the orange (I thought it was gold?) high temp RTV they never did leak.
