I saw these and they seem that they would be an improvement over my cast logs...
Any opinions or personal experiences?

if you have the heavy stock cast headers then i would just say get some stock ho headers which you can get for like 35 dollars a pair or buy some bbk shorties which you can prolly get for like 70 dollars a pair.

Yes they will work and with true dual exhaust it should gain about 15 hp. I would use a set for an 86-93 Mustang though. The 85s have the heat stove for the carb, which you don't have;)

i was amazed at how much the stock manifolds weigh compared to the h.o. ones. i think ford was sabotaging us from the start. :P
