351w Lt's

shadowgames81 · February 3rd, 2009, 08:10 PM

Anyone ran the hedman lt's w/ the 351w swap?? Are they worth getting over shorties? Found them for 186 new but if its not worth the extra money or will have a lot of fitment issues I don't wanna waste my time.

86er · February 3rd, 2009, 08:16 PM

they make good products, wouldnt worry about fitmit problems at all, 186 isnt bad at all, that is the swap header right

Long tubes always better power wise

shadowgames81 · February 3rd, 2009, 08:31 PM

yeah. its in the mustang unlimited parts catalog.....listed as 79-93 fox 5.8 long tube headers. Thinking I might get those cuz I loved the hedmans I had on my 73 but wasn't sure how the fit would be.

M L Struck · February 3rd, 2009, 08:37 PM

I put hedman's on my 92 full size bronco they fit great and never leaked

Have fun getting them in ............................

only headaches you will have is around the steering shaft. Its TIGHT.
They are a royal pain to get in and out even with everything right.

shadowgames81 · February 4th, 2009, 05:53 PM

seems that no long tubes fight easily from the sound of it.

86er · February 4th, 2009, 06:19 PM

not that its not easy, just gotta manipulate some stuff, starter off on the pass side, undo the mounts on both sides so you can tilt the motor, i found it easiest to just take the steering shaft off at the rack

Nope, the stearing shaft is just a real PITA on these 351 swaps.
You have to lift the engine up some, and even then its a wrestle.

89LX347 · February 4th, 2009, 06:57 PM

you dont have to take your starter off everytime. kooks headers fit really well. also do you have tubular front suspension?

shadowgames81 · February 5th, 2009, 05:20 PM

I was tryin to put them on the motor before I dropped it in and maybe even the tranny......will that make it easier or harder??

86er · February 5th, 2009, 06:20 PM

yea, put all three together, its much easier that way.

kill a bunch of birds with one stone

shadowgames81 · February 5th, 2009, 08:34 PM

good deal. wasn't sure if mounting the tranny later would help. Just have to find a good set of lt's then an order the pan kit and get it all put together

shadowgames81 · February 7th, 2009, 09:13 PM

I was reading somewhere that other vehicles w/ the 351w had the oil pan I could use. Is this true? Someone said a bronco pan could be used, is that right??
