It's been done too. Advance Adapters (if I'm not mistaken) had these as their "V8 swap headers"Anyone thought of making there own log headers. Could help with the tight fit. Looks like the try y's design could just be modified to clear the transmission.
The only Ford headers there don't fit a Ranger.Automotive Component Engineering has a number headers for stock and swaps. www.powerbyace.com
Also for ideas see http://s731.photobucket.com/albums/ww314/OldRob/
The explorer 5.0 manages to make 225hp with those restrictive manifolds.If you're gonna cork the 5.0 with the 'sploder manifolds, you may as well go with a 4.0.
If you stay with something intended for an Explorer they should fit ok, aftermarket Explorer headers are pretty pricy though...Anyone ever tried these? Found them on ebay under "JBA 1650S-2 HEADERS 1965-70 MUSTANG GT40P HEAD" I tried to find them on the JBA site and couldn't, so maybe they are out of production? I need some headers for my 95 4wd conversion and I've read I need ones specificly for the GT40p heads.
I've also emailed L&L and asked them about whether or not theirs will fit.
EDIT: I got a reply back from L&L, and their headers will NOT work with p heads.
The only headers I know of for the explorers are the old ford racing headers which they haven't made for a long time, and the torque monsters, which I guess they might not be making either. If you go to their website it says purchasing is temporarily disabled.If you stay with something intended for an Explorer they should fit ok, aftermarket Explorer headers are pretty pricy though...
It is kinda hard to tell by looking but I don't think either side of what you have pictured will fit in a Ranger very well.
Headers are a major reason that if I went the GT40 route I would avoid the Ps.
