I posted in the 5.0 tech section about my exhaust leake and come to the conclusion of replacing the header gaskets. They recomended Felpro 1415's. However, Im just checking if Fox exhaust ports are the same as us 94/95 guys.I found them on Summit but they say their only for years 62-93 260-351w. If their different, can u aime me in the directoin of some good quality header gaskets for our motors. I have Hedman headers, if that matters.

I've tried way too many gaskets since I've owned this car, and the only ones I've had good luck with were the Felpro 1415's. And they fit the exhaust ports on my AFR's perfectly (undoubtedly because AFR wanted that )

They will work fine. Most stores, mags, and websites say they work on the 5.0 up to '93 but they will work fine for our cars. This header gasket coupled with some Stage 8 locking bolts have given me zero problems.

Go for Stage 8 locking header bolts. I got mine from Summit but didn't spend any time looking for a better deal since I needed them the next day. I recommend those since they lock. Tightening header bolts every 3 days isn't fun.
