The only difference between these and the 86-93 headers is the EGR bung on the passenger side. What heads are you using?

I've read that the passenger side exit is right above the frame and points down at it.

The heads are stock.

The heads are stock 84 model year

Dangerranger is correct the passenger side will need the frame notched for the exit. The drivers side may work but not shure, they may not clear the steering shaft. Aftermarket ones will deffinatly not clear the steering shaft. I have some BBKs for a 94 I am in the process of rerouting the front two tubes for steering shaft and GT40p spark plug clearance. Lots of cutting, grinding and welding needed to make them fit.

If these are the headers in question it looks like the drivers side might work but theres only one way to find out

The drivers side header is different, it is supposed to be a drop in for a Ranger. The passenger side points right at the frame. The passenger side was the only one I test fit, it got a fail. I only tested it because it was easier to get at (no steering in the way) and I had previously heard it was the problem one.

The drivers side header is different

What do you mean? The drivers side header is different on a 94/95 than the 86-93? If you found any differences, it was probably a difference in manufacturing. I have held the two factory sets side-by-side. Same - same.

Those you have pictured are after market. He is refering to factory headers.

Thanks bud, I am aware of that. They dump in the same spot is why I posted that (easier to locate aftermarket photos). See where I said:

EDIT: I was just thinking, my O/R H-Pipe is a 94-95 pipe. It bolted right in with no issues.

Sorry about that, I was thinking about the tube routing not the outlet location. You are correct they dump in the same location.

Never held the earlier ones but if they are like those pictured the one I have off of a '94 has quite a bit of difference to be a manufacturing error. Number 5 and 6 are inside of 7 and 8. The front half of the header is a header tube tighter to the head than the back half.

Edit (with better pics):

SN95 headers, the guy changed them out for longtubes along with what appeared to be the original 200k mile plugs and wires in the stall next to my brother, pretty sure they were the original headers to the car.

(Heddman 88400 above)

The big snag on the drivers side is dodging the steering shaft, which the pre-94 headers swerve into rather than attempt to dodge. As a side note the Heddman 88400 header (pictured) on the DS looks kinda neat with the steering shaft in place. #5 swerves in just to avoid it and #6 swerves out at just the right point. At the point of the V the driveshaft goes by with lots of clearance. I couldn't have done it better if I tried

With the engine mount studs sitting on the engine crossmember (before I slotted it) the passenger side is what makes this all moot anyway:

A lot of this is already found here (with +'s and -'s)

Thanks for the info guys I apprieciate it. I've located a set of Ford Maverick exhaust manifolds and they fit like they were made for this conversion.

 

[dangerranger83]

I would say the maverick ones would be the same as the mustang ones of the time since they had very similar body structures of the time. But that is good info to know, got pics of them on your truck?

85, those are pretty similar to the fox style. Cylinder 4 would provide more clearance for steering gears on a fox. They do dump in the same spot though. The big manufacturing difference I have seen is the location of the collector flange. It was a little haphazardly placed as far as the clocking position goes.

I will post pics later.
