My 56 F-100 is just a streetRod!! But after 30 years in the business, I don't think I ever met a set of Headers that didn't "LEAK" or burn your arms under the hood!!! My F-100 with a 312 has the original manifolds with one side reversed and I get along fine with them, (duel's of course)



Your comments welcome .....

Have you ever thought of a set of "Ram Horns" They look nice and should give you no leak problems. You can find old OEM ones on eBay or buy new ropos from Mummert.

"SUPREME"; Are they cast Iron or? ... The Y- Block site is new to me, I was introduced just last week by "Yellow Brick Charlie". Would I actually gain, with headers or just show? As I said, I have duals with reversed manifold's ...Hope to get some answers on my entry, Easy to use/fit/whatever, regarding Toyota P/S on my F-100 .....

The rams horn manifolds are cast iron.  I suspect that the ones from Mummert are better in the flow department than a stock rams horn.  But don't take my word for it.  Give him a call.

Headers should enhance the performance.  For your street driven streetrod, Tri-y's from Stan's headers may be a good choice.  I would be using the tri-Y's if only they fit 61-64.  All of the other tube designs are quite similar.  I doubt there's much performance difference between them.

I have Stan's headers too. The name of his company is is FPT (FORD Power Train).

He makes a quality product.

My headers are for the tbird, but he makes them for your app. too, as Charlie said.

AND HIS DO NOT LEAK.

And here's a link to Ford Powertrain

Ford powertrain, as of1.5 years ago, do not produce headers for a truck. That could have changed by now. When I talked with them they said they made truck headers in the past. There wasn't enough demand so they stopped. Somewhere along the way the tooling was lost.

Alan, I bought just a regular set of long headers from Mid Fifty last year and they worked fine on my 56.  Did have a slight clearance issue on the passanger side but no other issues.

Sacramento Vintage Ford sell headers but I am not sure what make they are.

I have used them for quite a few parts and have found them extremely helpfull.

Thanks for straightning me out on that Charlie. And good to know of another header source. I've always "needed" a 57-64 ford pickup.



BFFOOTER, your 56 pickup looks AND sounds great, i caught it on UTUBE.
