need help on headers

Post by 1971ford »

i need to order headers soon for the 71 f250 with 429/auto c6.

will these work? the thing that worries me is that it doesnt say what years :? (but maybe it doesnt say what years because the 460 stopped being created at the end of the dentside era right?)
and is that removable pipe for access for starter removal?

or how about these. the only difference i see is that they are listed for f100 as well as f250 and f350. and doesnt have the removable pipe.

I think they stop making the 460 in the early 90s. Correct me if I am wrong. I removable pipe is funny, that would be my guess.

To me it looks like the second set of hedders will work. But then again I never brought hedders before.

302/c4/3.50
81 F-100 Long Box 2wd

92 F-150 Lariat 4wd
302/auto couldn't go wrong for $500

ahh i didnt see that earlier.

but under "application", there are 4 sections. that confuses me. so if your truck fits any of those sections details then it will work? so confused :?
they all list for dentside too, i know 429/460's werent in f-series until dent era, so will it work?

please excuse my stupidity :D

yes if the application is listed then it will fit, you can filter it using the links at the top where it says for instance "2wd" or "4wd".

Now obviously, there won't be a listing for a bump with a 429/460 unless it is listed as a "swap" header, but I would go with the dentside ones myself...
