351W Headers

[O'Rattlecan]

I found the ones in the ford performance catalogue that Tony pointed out. I found this part number:

M-9430-T50

They look sharp as heck, but they sure are proud of them. They're wanting $350. Are there any companies out there that make some shorty headers for around or above the $200 price point? Crossing the $300 barrier seems a little excessive.

I can't find anything that is coated for less than $330. I did find chrome for $255 but I'm not sure how the finish will hold up. I doubt it would be much better than painted.

Now what have I been trying to tell all of you folks.....he's tighter than bark on a tree!!

Vince, that's over 1 week's pay for me...

I don't need it to be coated, that's what I was saying in the other thread. I can finish it myself.

Ya mean, the massive amounts of money a college student makes wont suffice?

 

[surewhynot]

Would you like fries with that?

 

[O'Rattlecan]

bah, forget headers. I'm buying a new hammer. BAN hammer. I will not tolerate this kind of mutiny.

But seriously, would I be buying crap if something cost around 250?

Wish I made that much money.

I can't speak for them myself, but a lot of guys on hotrodders prefer sanderson headers.

Check it to see what they have before you buy.

They make them for my Y-block too. If you accidentaly order two sets, make sure the extra ones are for the Y-block.

 

[O'Rattlecan]

I'm interested Brain. $265 sounds like my kind of headers...

Ryan

 

[Brian_B]

I assume that is uncoated. Let me know if you actually order them. Everyone that has said they have them has been pleased (on hotrodders).

I know "the other site" means nothing around there, but the Y-block guys run sanderson and red's headers. Perhaps those are the only ones that fit. LOL

In the past, I have bought $99 el cheapo Summit headers and actually had good results.

[O'Rattlecan]

woah! Those are full length. I'm not sure I need those... But the price sure is good.

You always need something thats bigger/better, thats part of buying parts.

Here's a couple auctions though

I don't see anything wrong with them that a wire brush won't fix...

I was looking at these:

Now, by 'flange' do they mean gasket, and would it be a good idea to get my own higher quality gasket? I can find fasteners no problem at Westlake. We have a big selection of Grade 8 bolts and Stainless Steel bolts.

Yes they are a gasket seal. I would buy a copper gasket for them. They should do the trick.
