Those summit long tubes - 100bucks, does anyone know if they will fit?
What's the part number? :dntknw:

[baddad457]

As far as I know , Summit doesn't offer Ranger/BroncoII headers for a V8. Your best bet is Hedmans 89500 or 88400 headers.

part number SUM-G9030

Biggest problem of the V-8 swap is the issues with everything fitting. If you have the time/skills/equipment anything can fit. I used the Headmans from JEGS and haven't had any complaints. You might try the James Duff website and kind of compare the demensions of their headers to the ones from SUMMIT

If i remember correctly, summit offers the advance adapters headers, those might be the ones your talking about ?

Those are Fox body Mustang headers, not Ranger headers. The only Mustang headers that DO fit (depending of course on what combination you're using) are the 65-66 Shelby type Tri-Y's) If the headers you've linked to here fit, we need proof.:worthless:

[svtbronco2]

basicly, i just wanted a set of longtubes that will fit without too much hassle for around 300 bucks if possible. arn't the tri-y headers shorties? its a 93 foxbody v8 going into an 85 b2 4x4. the only ones i can find are those james duff ones, i'll get them if i have to, just wondering if theres sumthing eles

[baddad457]

Tri-Y's aren't shortys, they're as long as long tubes, but run four cylinders into two, then the two into one. If there's a restriction, they've got me fooled. Had em in mine with the 331-sixpack motor (400+hp) Top speed was 140 mph, 1/4 mile was 13.7 @ 102. That's in a 3800 lb 89 supercab.

[svtbronco2]

whats the part # for the tri-y's?

[baddad457]

You can find them in any of the Classic Stang and Ford catalogs, try Mustangs Unlimited for one. They're on ebaymotors all the time too. Do a search on "Ford Headers" and scroll thru, you'll find a set or two nearly everyday. These are the Tri-Y's built for the 65-66 Shelby Mustangs.

the long tube headers you posted for 100 dollars DO work... BUT, you have to cut your frame alittle and mod your steering shaft alittle bit... i'll see if i can get to my buddys house and get pics of his.. thats what he did and thats what i'm doing

Baddad,
What's the size of the primary tubes? No fit problems with any of the trany's? They sure ought to fit one of the late, '98' and newer with no problems?

I would never cut the frame to fit headers. There are enough options for a 302 that are bolt on. If you want to customize, do it to the headers. I saw a kid notch the frame on a Ranger for headers before. It had a nice crack before the end of that summer.

Matt

[2fast4you]

simple fix to that... box the frame around where you had to cut it...

[projectnitemare]

My question on this topic always comes to but why? There are headers that fit for not much more.

I don't know the tube sizes offhand. Bought em used on ebay for $85. They work well enough to serve a 400+ hp 331 with three carbs, Canfield heads and a Z303 roller. They fit transmissions with the 157 tooth bell, they can be slightly mod'ed to work with 164 tooth bells. 98+ trucks ? that I can't tell you.

you are correct there are headers that are made for the 302 swap. i like taking the hard route plus you get some people that are broke sob that want to go fast and headers for only 100 dollars with a little mod to the frame ( i know its not the best thing to do ) but if you box it right where you cut it, i really cant see any issue's with the frame being weak or cracking..

[baddad457]

:D$100 ? I only paid $85 for my Tri-Y's and never cut the frame.:icon_thumby: (nickel-chromed, used off ebay):icon_confused:

[2fast4you]

ebay is your best friend lol

Hey whats going on? I was going to run a set of Mac long tubes i already have on my combo. I was already planning on doing a little cutting and re-enforcing to the frame to make these fit. any pics you can get me or even a detailed explanation of where and how much needed to be trimmed to let the long tubes fit would really be appreciated. Thanks dude.

i'm reading some other threads on here and some people are saying that the shelby tri y's only fit the 2wd models...? anyone know about this?

[rangerslim]

^^^^correct.....I've got'em and they ain't even close on my 4wd.....the driver's side can be made to fit easily but no way on the passenger side....
