I've hijacked a topic on 5752-113 head porting (sorry CJ), so i thought i'd open a new topic on these headers.

(To see CJ's topic with some info on the headers )

The headers on fleabay are AU$275 plus post, pretty cheap for Aussieland

They appear to be copies of (or may even be) Sanderson Headers...

This has probably been answered before, but while i'm here,


Will the TBird headers fit the full size Fords, specifically 1955,56 ?

The mods. do look great. And i'm envious of the booster fitment, I'm pretty sure it won't fit the tbird quite the same.

The clutch, well I've left the std. mechanism and worked the exhaust around it. No photos as yet though 2 1/2"  and hooker aero-chambers through the X-member to the diff.

Very much looking forward to hearing its note!

Thanks CK.  The aluminum plate at the back of the booster is an adapter I made that raises the booster a couple of inches.  The booster and master cylinder now clear the exhaust manifold by a lot.  I had to add the plate because the two push rods that came with the booster didn't fit.  One was too long the other too short.

Hi guys
Curious how others went with these headers?
I've found the bolts continually loosening up and thinking of getting a better set which may hold tension under such conditions.
Any suggestions?
