So I'm in the midst of my 5.0 swap on my Ranger, the problem I'm running into is header availability. I've seen no FRPP headers for sale in years and the Torque Monster Header is getting to be a rare breed. I have found a set of "slick fit" headers by Advanced Adapters, but it states they fit Explorers from 1991-1994 and Rangers up to 1997.
My thought process is this: The Explorer is a Ranger based vehicle. I've seen another thread where a guy put a 2nd Generation Explorer body onto a 1st Generation Frame. Well, if my Ranger Edge, which has torsion bars like a 2nd Generation Explorer, which share's enough similarities that the body can fit onto a 1st Gen frame, will the header's work?
The header setup is a log style manifold, just wondering what you guys and gals think?
