I think if u buy header collectors, cut the s off the h pipe and weld the collectors to the h pipe that would solve to problem, other then that, look for new 5.0 headers

those would fit your car and the h pipe, plus they have thicker s, thicker tubes, and larger primaries

I've never seen shorty 5.0 headers that were three bolt(then I don't get out much LOL)... Guessing since the application stated '79-'85(and '82-'88 T-bird) these are designed to repl the stock iron manifolds and are different from the later pieces... I'd just get headers for a '86-'93 Stang and matching H-pipe... The later two bolt pieces are what everyone uses...

I had a set of headers with a three bolt . Turns out they were actually intended to fit a F-150. The passenger side fit fine, but the drivers side had all sorts of problems fitting. In the end, I just went with some stock Mustang/Mark VII headers that fit like a glove.
