That would be the one. Either set will go on either car though. Just have to cap the EGR bung on the SN95 version.

But what you are telling me is.... the SN95 version fits better in a Ranger than the Fox style? To me it looks like it should be the opposite because of the "dodge" in the cylinder 5 tube. I will also say that it was an unnecessary measure for a Mustang - it may have been something for the Mark VII since they used the same set.

EDIT: This is the set I found a pic for via Google....

The SN95 #5 hugs the block much tighter than the fox ones. From above the front half of the SN95 is only one header tube wide, the foxes are two tubes wide.

The "dodge" I typed of on the SN95 is that the tube goes down right away to hug the head/block rather than run outside #6. On my above picture of my SN95s, in your mind take #7 and stretch it to reach number #5. It is basically a mirror of the PS. Then note how much wider that makes the header. That is pretty much the biggest snag of the DS fox header.

The depth isn't an issue at all, as you can see the Heddman that is in my truck doesn't give up much at all for depth to the SN95 and it is swimming with downward room.

I dont know how to post pics yet sorry. I want to put a pic of my bronco II on here but havent fig it out yet.

How much does the engine placement play into the fitment 85? It is still about the same?

mine is an 84 model. I would say an 85 should be the same

Here are a couple pics of some crudly modified fox headers I've been useing with my stock HO motor. The pics arn't real good but you get the idea of what needs to be don to make them work. The passenger side header is untouched but had to notch the frame. The drivers front two tubes are cut and rewelded to clear.

Bearsmgr, those pics helped a ton seeing the entire steering assembly in there. Now I understand what 85 and you are saying better. I thought all of the issues with the fit were by the collectors. I think that when my day comes for doing one of these swaps, I'll just use the GT40P (Explorer factory) style. Seems like that might be a cure all.

It's a good thing I don't have more space and money sometimes... I'd have so damn many more projects going than I already do.

The exploder headers work perfectly, using them now, but i would recommend the cast manifolds as they are less restrictive and the ports can be opened up a bit.

I really like the Torque Monsters.... but I don't 800 dollars like them.

I agree. I've seen them on a 302 ranger in person. Not worth that much money in my eyes, i could build my own for less and still have money for other upgrades.

They do fit nice, on a 2wd I would go tri-y and never look back though. For a 4wd I am happy with my 88400's.

I hear ya, I'm not even close to having this ranger done and the wife is starting to bug me about building her an old 71 maverick i've had sitting around for years. The fun never ends i guess.

Damn it... there is another car I would love in the stable. I absolutely love the Maverick (2 door). They don't get enough love in my opinion. My neighbor had one that was mean sounding when I was in 4th-5th grade (1984-1985). So my love for Mavericks goes back a ways.
