Shorty Headers for 429 CJ/SCJ

[ponypastor]

Looking for a link and recommendations for a set of shorty headers that will fit my 429 SCJ. Anyone use them? Problems fitting? Thanks much.

I've tried two sets of shorty headers and they won't fit on the drivers side due to the cross member. I had long headers but took them off and found a set of manifolds to put on.

During my search, I never ran across these. The others were easy to return and I had to have the long headers removed to try nay . The sets I had , one could see there would have been a problem. OE manifolds cost me $1400 but I got it back to close original. Thanks for responding.

I bought a set for either the mustang or ranchero...haven't installed them yet. Not cheap, but very well made with a fairly long lead time. Stan indicated that he may be getting out of the business.

Well that is sad to hear about Stan- I haven't used them but I have not ever heard anything negative about the fitment or qualiity.

FPA headers in Oregon has just what you are looking for. I found them when doing a 66 thunderbird build. The guys at the shop said they slid in easier than anything they had ever tried. And I can verify their quality. I spoke to the owner by phone. Old school great guy. Just google FzpA headers. I think it stands for Ford Power Applications
