    I am having some issues regarding finding a set of headers to fit my car.
    I am looking for a set of long tube jet hot coated headers that will fit:
    1966 Mustang fastback with a FRPP 347 450hp "Z" alum. head crate engine.
    The car has a cable clutch and a blowproof bellhousing.
    Any suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    I would check JBA. I think pretty spendy, but high quality product. Hooker also comes to mind.

    Ran across Ford Performance Application."FPA".
    They just developed an equal length long tube header that is ceramic coated inside and outside that fits my combination. I ordered them yesterday.
    Thanks for the replies!

    just remember that these cars were not dimensionally accurate all the time. as fast as cars were coming off the assembly lines at the time, allowances had to be made.

    IMO You're never gonna notice a difference in power, so you better off making clearance to the ground and getting shorties. I use to smack my long tubes on everything!

    To late..
    I have already ordered the long tubes. FPA has assured me that this design tucks up underneath the car very well.
    In regards to "shorties". You may be right I may not notice the difference powerwise.
    I do however love the look of long tubes as well as the sound that they make..
