    Hi Guys, sorry I haven't been around for a while. I need your help. I have been searching for almost a year for exhaust manifolds/headers that will fit the 429 that is in my 52 Ford Customline. The factory manifolds are darn close but the drivers side hits the steering box and the p***enger side hits the frame. Today I found some manifolds for a early 90's pick up with a 460 that are in the stereotypical block hugger Y shape that I need. Does anyone know if the manifold bolt patterns are the same between 60s-70s 429 headers and 90s 460 headers?

    Oh, and what makes it even more difficult is that my budget practically doesn't exist. Thanks in advance for your ideas.

    Michael

    Probably the best way to find out is go to Autozone or Rock Auto's website and look up the exhaust gaskets and compare part numbers.
