V8 Conversion Headers

[85_Ranger4x4]

They fit depending on what mounts u use. If u use v6 mounts and plates they probably wouldn't because that setup makes engine sit pretty high in engine bay.you must of used sn95 mounts or foxbody vert mounts which makes it sit nice and low in engine bay.

Then some guys can't get them to fit because their engine sits too low.

I used the convertible mounts with some upward shims (washers). Without the bodylift the PS would be pointing right at the firewall.

this should solve alot but not all of our v8 swap guys problem's on your bronco ii 1st and 2nd rangers and explorers. Just saw video last night. Awesome set of headers coming soon. There pretty much a copy of advanced adapters headers that they stopped making but made in way better materials.

I think bird76mojo used vert mounts in his with those headers and they fit perfect. I had a set of those with v6 mounts and plates and they pointed right at the firewall

I was thinking I used early Bronco mounts, but i can't remember for sure.

These are going to be a ridiculously expensive option.

Expensive? Yes. Ridiculously Expensive? I'm not sure that's a fair assessment.

Consider Torque Monster headers for the later Rangers and Explorers. They are all around that $1100 mark, the guy has absolutely no customer service or communication, and it's about a year wait to receive the product. He's still selling them though.

Someone said in another thread that RIP is going to price theirs around $1100. That's in line with the only other dedicated Ranger swap header, though they cater to different segments of the market. If they have better customer service, communication, and/or shorter wait time, then they have Torque Monster beat. Again TM is still selling even with the negatives.

Not saying that I like the price of either, just saying...

It's that option or keep butchering headers and frames to make them fit! You know the saying "you get what you pay for". If I was looking for headers I'd at least consider them.

Stainless is super easy to weld. Using either GMAW or GTAW. Purging the inside of tubing with inert gas is what's important. That and not overheating the joints.
