Title: 91 mustang header
Post by: wedge446 on February 14, 2008, 05:50:29 PM
I swapped out the roller cam from the 91 mustang motor I had and I still have the stock header from it.
Is it worth the trouble swapping the header from the 91 in place of my stock manifold?

I`m going to install a 2.3 turbo later down the road(8 months to 1 year) and can`t decide if its worth it or not.

I've swapped a few but cant say its any better.... I think the collector is somewhat restrictive.
If you don't use it I can use a new one for my 88 Ranger...

I don`t think I`ll go through the trouble of installing it..  I think I`ll focus on the t5 swap 1st.
I was thinking about putting it on ebay but don`t really have the time..
Do you know what a fair price to ask for it?

I had one but I cut the cone off of it and made a flange to bolt to it. When the cone is removed it had a 2.25" collector.

Pics are here  http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d30/wedge446/75%20Pinto%20wagon/

The header is in real good shape, the rust is on the surface..
Wire brush and paint it is all its needs..

Do like bill did and cut the cone off opening up the collector and they flow much better than the cast iron part.They also weigh less.
