hey guys,
does anyone know if mustang long tube headerswill fit on a 87 cougar xr7.
Heddman actually makes long tube headers for the 83-88 Tbird/Cougar 5.0. :D
here you go
but you need to put a mini starter if you ever plan to get the starter back out when you need to
stupid california smog.... :mad:
i got mac's and they fit like a dream actualy. i was surprised because everyone says what a bitch it is to install LT's
which headers are those Blown? and X-Pipe? tanks.
have to watch out that the long tubes u get do fit right,
The BBK longs will not clear if u have a AOD.
Is that oil all over the underside of your car?
cheapo flow junk headers "flow tech"
the X pipe is custom made the X section is 3"
yep well it's tranny fluid from my old T5 it used to leak from the tail shaft before it :barf:
no more oil leaks .. those pictures where taken in September of 2003
the only thing that leaks these days are those junk headers from all the slip s they have :disappoin
doh. guess i'll buy some MAC longtubes then. Flowtechs were on my list. tanks for the info.
lol the only reason i bought them was because they where only $110.00 VS everyone elses 250+.. i'd say they are ok for what i payed for them and will have to buy another set unless i want to revamp my whole exhaust system again.. but they are just a pain in the BA!!S to install and they use slip s for most of the tubes but thats because the headers are equal length long tubes :shakehead

I had bought a set of Flowtech unequal length shorties and they were junk. You couldn't even get the header bolts through some of the holes due to the way the tubes were bent, they blocked the holes.
I did really like the Heddman Headers I bought after I returned the Flowtechs.
Any 351 owners with long tubes? Was curious about fitment with those. :dunno:
I have yet to found a set that fit right.
I wanted the BBK longs for my car i had to settle for Mac 351W shorties into a fox
i know mercoug302 had BBK's, but he had to clearance one of the primaries for the steering shaft a few times
and was it a AOD car or a stick?
When i wanted the longs i had 351 with AOD.
Soon as i have my T bird done i will look into a 460 88 mark 7
I have the hedman set on my car, they fit great, Ijust had to remove the starter and steering shaft to get them in.
It's a good idea to change to the pmgr starter if you use these.
BTW these will not fit on aod or c-4 equipped cars, only t-5 or tremec or other manual
I was planning on a stroked 351, with a Tremmec. I was kinda thinking that the aod would be a problem with the TV and shift cables and brackets getting in the way.
By the way, sorry wayfastwhitey87 for hi-jackin your thread. :sorry:
