Description
Hedman Hedders has been manufacturing quality headers in the USA since 1954, and they’ve been manufacturing Ford Mustang headers for nearly as long as Mustangs have been on the road. Each set uses mild or stainless steel, smooth flowing, CNC mandrel bent tubes, that are hand-welded to ensure each pair is identical to the next. Hedman’s unique, gasketless ball and socket collector design allows your SB Ford’s exhaust system to bolt up, even if it is not perfectly aligned with the header collectors.
These HTC coated mild steel, LONG-TUBE headers fit the most iconic passenger cars to come out of Ford and Mercury between 1964-1977, with a 260-302W (also fits factory-equipped 351W 69-73 Mustang. for 351W swap, use Hedman’s 88660 header series). Among this prestigious list is 1964-73 Ford Mustang and Falcon, ’66-73 Ranchero & Torino, ’69-77 Maverick, ’66-70 Fairlane, ’67-73 Mercury Cougar and’70-73 Comet models fitted with a 260-302W engine. These headers fit Manual or C4 (only) transmission equipped vehicles. The long, smooth 1-5/8 in. tube design provides excellent exhaust flow to let your Ford Windsor block engine breathe deep, and produce excellent horsepower and torque gains.
Each set includes a pair of gaskets, header flange bolts and collector bolts. No collector gasket is needed.
Hedman Hedders is so confident in the quality of its headers that these headers are factory backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. These headers have a high temperature, POLISHED-SILVER ceramic finish that resists corrosion, and can withstand temperatures up to 1400 degree F. This finish is covered by a 5-year factory warranty, in addition to Hedman’s standard lifetime header warranty.
