    Hi Guys, I'm in the process of putting a 429 in my 52 Customline fourdoor. Its a tight fit and I am told that the factor SCJ exhaust manifolds won't fit. However I can't find any block hugger headers that drop in the center either. Specicially I am trying to route it between the oil filter and the steering linkage. Any ideas???

    I also need a good resource for a radiator that will fit and still keep this thing cool.

    Thanks in advance.

    There is a set of 460 headers in the cl***ifieds for an early Galaxie, they may fit with some modification.
