Now I already know about going to jegs and ordering the swap 351w headers for my 89 LX but my actual question is...

I want some different headers. What other headers not being the mustang swap ones will fit my mustang with a 351w?

Why is everyone so scared to look up parts on their own?

i've got these, MAC 1 3/4 shorties, yeah yeah everyone says to get longtubes but the reason i chose these is that i got flowmasters 3 inch kit and it's designed to work with shorties, ground clearance is excellent also, plus since they are shorties you can bolt a stock h pipe up to go thru inspection, maybe i'm losing power with them i don't know but my car runs 10s on dr's so it's all good

Didn't say I never looked and you totally missed what I asked if you said that. I KNOW all about the swap headers this and that. I don't want to use the swap stuff. I want some different headers that are not made for swap 351w's in foxbody but yet, will fit as I like other brands that don't have them like flowtech and certain dynomax headers. I've been up and down the summit road and jegs with swap headers for foxbodies.

I want something different that can possibly work.

Your not going to find anything else that works they make swap headers for a reason THEY FIT..

Let me get this straight, you want to use headers designed for another vehicle in your car? Good luck with that.

kinda queer isnt it man.

[teal89]

Chevy/Ford Motors are not designed for stangs/civics but they do it anyways. So why is it queer that I want to try something different. No need for making fun of folks because they want something different if it can be done. It's cool though, Im gettin the BBK longtubes made for 351w swaps and be done with it. I'm going to run pratically open header with racing mufflers on this one anyways so I care less about the h pipe and stuff

so youre getting something that you didnt want in the first place?
if you really wanted something different, make youre own headers or have a set made for you.

A good idea as it was only gonna cost me $200.00 to have some made, I just went ahead and decided to go with the headers already made so I wont have any problems if the custom ones weren't to fit. But at the same time I wasn't to specific on what I "wanted". I called myself trying to be cheap by finding cheaper priced headers not made for my car, but a possibility that it would fit, but I said the hell with it during the process of this thread because deep down, you guys are right, get em because they already fit.

im glad you saw the light my friend

[teal89]

Thank, I saw the light, just overwelmed by the rays ;-). I'm good to go now. Another intake, pushrods, flywheel and balancer and it's ready to drop in.
