Engine Tech / BBK / Factory Header question
don't buy the full length headmans...they don't fit...however, if you want to try I can sell you a pair!

just wondering, the BBK1515, what does the chrome finish look like after use?

Engine Tech / BBK / Factory Header question
I  had a h pipe made at a local shop. It ends just  ahead of the transmision pan. So what ever i get for headers i will just have to get the shop to make new pipes from the header to the h pipe.

I just need headers that will fit and cause no problems.

Thx for any and all info.

Engine Tech / BBK / Factory Header question
I bought and tried a set of hedman shorties on the 84, nothing but problems. Hit on the steering shaft,close but not hitting the shift linkage. The passengers side is the real problem. There too long and the collector not angled right.There to tight to the fire wall. The floor was so hot it would burn your hand.I took pics but i cant get them too post on  this site. i tried talking to hedman to see if their jigs were out of line or maybe the wrong header got sent.they wernt interested in talking to me. The hedman is junk. I bought them a while ago  and summit will not take them back either.......oh well im stuck with them.


I not interested in equal length,but think i will try the bbk 1515 or ford motor sport m-9430-p50.
what do you think.
Still like to see pics?

Engine Tech / BBK / Factory Header question
Do your bbk,s have lots of clearance around the steering shaft?  Do you think you would have enough room to put the equal lenght ones in? Got any pictures of the headers installed?

Engine Tech / BBK / Factory Header question
Im thinking about buying a set of bbk 1515 shorty headers for my 84 t bird. Has anyone had any experiences with these either good or bad?
How many horsepower will the 1990 factory stang shorty headers support before an upgrade is nessesary?  Any opinions?

Engine Tech / sapping from cfi to carb???
the cfi and the 2 brl ford carb will swap with no problemas to the aod tv cables,etc . Just pull off the cfi and put the carb back on.Easiest way arount the dizzy is to use a points type dizzy and switch the points out with the pertronics points eliminator kit. The in tank low pressure fuel pump will give you 6-8 psi at 42 gallons /hour which is what the carb wants.
