Header advice on my build

Recommended Posts

Finishing up my motor on my 1969 351W/4spd Mach I.  I was sold a pair of JBA long tube headers and told they would fit with my stock steering assembly.  Turns out that's not the case and if I want to use them I need to change to the Borgeson steering box, a different bell housing and a cable clutch. Is anyone aware of a set of long tube header that will work? Really bummed and hoping someone has a viable option that will work. Thanks.

I think they might be fairly expensive these days, but the F.P.A. headers worked just fine on my car back when it had a Windsor. I used the stock z-bar with a Lakewood bellhousing. 
 

I currently have those F.P.A. headers on a Windsor in a 68 Cougar with a Lakewood bellhousing and stock z-bar. The Cougar does not have power steering anymore but those headers do work fine with power steering.

I have FPA on my 302 with Borgeson and TKO. 

They fit. End of story.

Plus, being long tube they made a whole heap more torque than the JBA shorties that were on there. Ceramic coat keeps it all cool.

They were not cheap but buy once, buy right certainly applied here.
