5.0L Headers!

[explorer_50]

it would be greatly apreciated if someone...anyone could tell me where to find headers that will hug the block all the way down to the bottom...we are having clearence problems with the stock 5.0L manifolds. Any input would be helpfull...thanks

try ebay, find some from a '96 5.0L Ex.

basically, there are none. FRPP made some, but they have been disco'ed. as said, try ebay.... but dont hold your breath. nothing will swap either.

so from what i understand you said, stock 5.0l exporer headers will not fit a modded 91? i thought they did, or am i now completly confused?

 

[james t]

no, i meant that no other 5liter headers will. no shortie mustang headers etc. yes, the stock explorer headers will fit the 1st gen explorers. is that what you want? a set of stock explorer headers? if so, this should be an easy find from a salvage yard.

what vehicle are the manifolds from that you are trying to use?

explorer_50 and i got our 5.0's from f-150's so thats where our headers came from. we're on a buget, so no fancy high flow headers for us

 

[james t]

ah....... thats why the manifolds wont work. you will have to get a set of stock 96-up 5liter manifolds/headers. should be an easy find in salvage yards, or even ebay. hell, make a "wanted" post in the for sale section here. im sure there are a few guys who have their stockers laying around who would sell them cheap.
