does anyone make direct fit headers for a 64 galaxie with a 289? affordable ones? someone told me ****** makes some shorties that fit i just want sometihng that will let me use the all new stock piping that the guy i got the car from had done.. tryin not to overcomplicate this, but get a lil bit better flow... ya know?
The boys on the FordMuscle website say that Headman p/n HED-89476 work very well for small block equipped Galaxies. The orginal application is for a late 80's-90's F150 but they fit like a glove. -Bigchief.
HED-89470 is the number for the uncoated versions. Summit shows them at $265 for the set. Or you can go scrounging around for a set of early 351W manifolds and see if they'll fit the ch***is. You could also start searching for a set of used re-pop 289 'Hi-Po' manifolds as well, again, you'll need to check fit. The full size cars tended to run 'log' type manifolds and the Fairlane and Mustang lines tended to run better flowing header-like (for lack of a better term) manifolds. You could go grab some late model OEM 5.0 headers for practically free and cut them up to fit the Galaxie as well. -Bigchief.
