Fellas,
I have been searching the archives on headers for the Mustang II for the last hour and have learned some good stuff.
My situation: 1965 Mustang with 5.0 w/ World Product Sr. heads (P heads) and T5. I am in the process of converting to the Fatmans McPherson strut system so I have a better front suspension and the much wanted rack & pinion setup that ya’ll enjoy already.
My Problem: While passenger side shorty headers are a dime a dozen for the car the drivers side had been a pain. The problem is the collector is right around the old clutch, z-bar pivot mount on the block. This is not leaving much room for the intermediate steering shaft and rack connection.
My questions: Does anyone have the measurement from a V8 head to the MII shock tower? Does anyone have a pic of their driver’s side engine bay that has headers? Top and bottom view? The Hooker headers 6120 have good reviews but I would like to see a pic of them if possible, especially mocked up on an engine on a stand.
Thanks for the time.
