LTD II Headers

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I own a 78 LTD II with a 302 and a C4, and I have looked everywhere for a set of headers for it and found nothing. If anyone has any information on something that would work with it I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

	I'd bet you could use the 351W headers in your application... You could check with Hooker or Hedman, but the only difference is a little deck height.. Also, to be perfectly honest, I'd bet you could even use Mustang Shorty headers in a pinch with how much room you have under the hood.. Jim

	have you tried asking for older Torino/Ranchero 302 headers? like perhaps 74 or so would maybe be a good year to look for. maybe these perhaps? http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ExecMacro/headers/hea der_dsp.d2w/report?prmenbr=361&prrfnbr=8264&partnumb =520-6901&cartype=FORD+/+MERCURY+Falcon,+Fairlane,+Torin o,+Ranchero,+Cyclone,+Montego&vendor=FORD&header_typ e=Competition

	Be careful with those as they seem to somewhat contradict themselves.. (listing all from 66-73) There was a big difference between a 66 fairlane and a 73, not the least being that the 73 was a full frame car, and the 66 was (I believe) a unibody. On the other hand, it appears Hedman, Hooker and JC Whitney all seem to group those cars, so, if it fits a '73, it should fit yours.. What are you looking to do with the car? Jim

	I have not tried yet but I am installing a set of factory 87-93 mustang shorty headers in my 79 tbird there is a tonne of room in there and the headers will fit around an aod tranny on a stang and the c 4 is a narrower tranny it's a cheap swap outand the factory shorties from those years work well even up too 300 hp, I don't know about the H pipe off a stang but I will be using similar to that design as the H helps out the power and there is alot of room under your car to put one
