header question

[prime mover]

I've put headers on all my cars in the past and was thinking about putting em on my truck now that I've finally got one I might keep, but looking at ones on ebay most of the ones listed are for f-100's and f-250's but not 350's, whats the deal?

[willowbilly3]

They should fit, can't say for sure tho. Maybe call a header tech department.

[Dragon]

They fit but do you really want eBay headers or something that produces torque and hp for better mileage.

The rule on our trucks is 4*2 requires 4*2 and 4*4 requires 4*4. Hedman's work real good and so do Hooker's avoid Flowtech and Black Jack.

Mileage? whats that?
yeah I was leaning torwards the hedmans.

[Dragon]

Mileage hmm my F250 390 gets the same as a new F250 5.4 but only in town. I could get a lot worse.

I didnt do too much about it but my last truck(70 250 390 c-6 all options) got the worst mileage ever, I even put an aluminum intake and electronic ignition on it but still sucked.

I noticed you've got a crew; my F250 crew gets about 9, maybe 10 on a good day with a stock 360. It's also a 4x4 though...

BTW since you've got a crew you should post some pics here: http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... &sk=t&sd=a

I bought Hedman and I'm happy with the way they fit.

Mine gets 9 mpg empty and 8.5 towing 6500 lbs.

Its funny you should post that cause my truck looks almost like yours, its white with some dents but mine is a longbed, I'm going to paint it the original dark blue someday. I'll try to get some pics of it up but I'm just storing right now cause it needs a motor. anybody got a line on a good 390 in so-cal?

I built two racing 390s out of 352s one from the junkyard in Victorville and the other from the yard in Ridgecrest. I know I did not use up all the engines.

What about Summit headers are they any good? Ok you can have it back now

[Dragon]

Who makes them Summit doesn't! They either buy branded from one company or are owned by one company.

Here's the ones I'm talking about I though they where made by Summit. But anyway are they any good? http://store.summitracing.com/partdetai ... toview=sku

Those look like Black Jacks as best as I can tell. But might be Flowtechs.

Yearwood Performance here has a set for 100 for a FE truck 4*2 Flowtechs

like these http://store.summitracing.com/partdetai ... toview=sku
5/16 Flange is not bad .049 tube though is less than a 1/16 (.0625) so they are thin and the thinner the noisier the header.

Hedman are thinner flanges but same tubing.

Yeah but Hedman has that ball collector connector that works real well especially with off road flexing.
