HEADER,FLATHEAD FORD V-8,1 3/4",ECONOMY,3-INTO-1 DESIGN,CERAMIC HOT COATED

Brand New Pair of Southwest Speed Ceramic Hot Coated Economy Headers for 1942-1948 Flat Head Fords with 136-255ci V-8 Engines (Part #440-2469).

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
• Ceramic Hot Coated to resist early corrosion

Ceramic Hot Coating Warning:

Warning: CHC coatings will burn and be damaged at exhaust temperatures over 1300 degrees. A lean fuel mixture can generate exhaust temperatures exceeding 1700-1900 degrees. If the coating is damaged due to a lean condition, the coating will not be warranted, but can be recoated for a fee. No warranty or returns on Ceramic Hot Coated exhaust items once they have been installed.

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.
