2.9 Ford Exhaust

[quinoacowboy]

I have an 89 2.9 Ranger. It's kind of junky, it's reliable about 75%. It just has to last me until the winter so I can save and buy a second gen. That being said, it has a cracked head and if I do replace it, I want to put headers or different exhuast manifolds on it. Are there any other exhuast manifolds that fit from any other 2.9? 3.0L or 4.0L headers? I love the truck and really it's my gateway into teaching myself how to work on cars

That is a second gen lol.

I think youre pretty much stuck with 2.9 stuff. I know 3.0 wont work and despite the 4.0 being the 2.9s closest cousin i dont think theyll work either...ive never messed with it but i think its been tried around here before.

However...i do believe a company or two is still making aftermarket headers for them.
