HEY
I know a lot of people will avoid this thread just because of the chevy...but. Anyone know of any headers taht will fit in my 86 Ranger with a 305? Anyone done a 305 or 350 swap and used headers. Right now I am running stock Grand Prix manifolds that are just a straight single chamber manifold that runs right under the valve cover=they have no flow. I can raise the motor a good inch to and 1 1/2 if needed. Any ideas other than custom made? Thanks everybody.
Pics of manifolds now on cardomain if interested
 
Fyi>>>

Put ramhorns on my Son's 93:

I've also known people to use V8 S10 headers.

GOOD LUCK & keep us posted...........
 
thanks man for the pics...your engine is mounted a lot higher than mine. I used stock Grand Prix mounts and welded them. I love your mounts though. judging by the driver side mine is about an inch and a half lower... you can imagine my problem. Ill get a better look tommorow and try to post some pics if i can figure it out. Its supposed to be above freezing...YAY!!!
 
Btw:

My winter project is stuffin this into either my green 94 or a black 94 I bought a couple weeks ago, and will have to run exhaust manifolds for the moment till I get some funds to have custom headers built....:icon_surprised::yahoo:
