Header Help

[jes72mustang]

OK, I am looking for headers and having a hard time of it.
The application is my 72 GRande, 351C-2v, FMX tranny. The dynomax Blackjack headers claim they only fit with a C-4 or Manual tranny, as do many of the others. What are my options? Ant recommendations? THanks

Hooker Long Tubes will fit. And try these guys too: http://www.fordpowertrain.com/Headers.htm

I used the Hooker super comps and bought mine thru Summit Racing. Also, call the guys at Ford Powertrain, they are very helpful and can tell you whether or not their headers will fit with an FMX.

Well, good news after much research and correspondance with the different manufacturers I am going with the Blackjack headers from Dynomax. Their tech support responded to my email that though their documentation states their headers are for c-4 trans only, they would send me a set FREE to try. Fit or not they are mine to keep, and I guess modify if needed, at NO CHARGE.

So They have my business(sort of) for these headers and I will attempt to deal with them for other exhaust needs. I give them an A+++++++ in customer service.

WTH? Damn!

I had to dent my Hooker Comps in two or three spots because they hit my frame rail and the scattershield. Doesn't help you, but I thought I'd share anyway.

My Free Blackjack Headers from Dynomax arrived yesterday. I must say that I am pleased with what they sent. They do appear brand new. I am guessing that they were pulled off the production line for quality control checks or R & D, because they have what appears to be measurements and radius markings all over them. But that's nothing some hi temp header paint won't fix. I am not sure when I will get to install them yet, but I will re[port back on the fit.
