Brand New Pair of Southwest Speed Black Economy Headers for 1942-1948 Flat Head Fords with 136-255ci V-8 Engines (Part #440-2466). Hot Rods, Street Rods, Rat Rods & Nostalgia Rods are hotter than ever, and nothing gives your vintage rod that racy look and sound like a set of our headers. These are the simplest Flat Head Ford V-8 headers that we produce. 3 into 1 all 1-3/4" tubes with no collector, these headers are designed to have the exhaust welded straight to the 1-3/4" outlet pipes. Complete with header bolts and gaskets. Ground parallel with .300" flanges on the mounting surface. Although these are 42-48 Ford Car specific headers, they will fit many other applications with usually a minimum of changes. Applications: Fits 136, 221, 239, & 255 Cubic Inch Flat Head Ford V-8 engines Will bolt to all 32-53 Flat Head Ford V-8 blocks Won't fit V8-60 Engines Note: Consult the known restrictions below to ensure headers will fit your vehicle and application. We suggest also having someone competent in header installation assist with this project. Known Restrictions: Generally will not fit stock Model T or A due to narrow frame width, particularly on passenger side Generally will not fit with stock steering on 32-34 cars, but works well with the Vega cross-steer setup. Works well in 35-41 Fords using our 105-7974 Vega steering box bracket and Vega steering boxes. 42-48 cars will occasionally require shimming of motor mounts to raise engine to clear steering linkage. 49-51 cars will have fitting problems due to interference with stock steering box and steering linkage. On Most pickups the steering box can normally be clearanced slightly to allow these headers to be used. Features: 1-3/4" primaries with a 3 into 1 design Exhaust welds directly to the 1-3/4" outlets Great for some Hot Rods, Rat Rods & Street Rods Easily adapted to many applications and engine swap combinations More Performance Better Fuel Mileage Great Choice to replace cast iron exhaust manifolds Enhances the looks of any rod Includes gaskets and bolts Painted Flat Black to resist early corrosion Paint Warning: These headers are painted with a high heat dull black paint. It will generally dull even more when the engine is started. The header paint will smoke and let off an odor the first few times the engine is up to temperature and the black finish will become duller turning closer to gray in color. If exhaust temperatures are extreme at start the paint will blister and peel. There is no warranty on header paint. Header Return Policy: Please refer to the header measurement chart below to make sure the header will fit your vehicle and application before ordering. In the event you order a header that will not fit your vehicle and application, you may return them for a refund, providing you don't damage the header. When you receive the header the finish will be protected and must remain unscratched for a refund. If you bend or dimple any of the tubes or scratch the finish, we will not be able to sell the header and will not be able to process a refund. Use care when trial fitting headers. Repack them well to prevent damage returning them to us. We won't process refunds for scratched, dimpled, dented, or bent headers.
