finding headers for a 66 Galaxie convertible should'nt be this hard,or should it?...
I am having a hard time finding long tube headers for my 390 Z Code Galaxie XL.
I keep seeing footnotes that say "not for convertibles".
Anyone know what is up with that?
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated? I would prefer coated headers.
Thanks,
_Lance

Anybody got any suggestions?

Only suggestion would be to get a set for the hardtop and see how they fit or if they could be modified to fit. I would get the uncoated ones if you may be cutting them up and then get them coated when all the work to them is done. If I recall correctly the frame differences would be from approximately the firewall back so the interference would probably be somewhere around the header collector area so may not be real difficult.

Check with Crites Restorations in Ohio. They may have a set that would fit.

I have ceramic coated shorties for my 65 convertible. I think Sanderson(I'll have to check if your interested) I'm very happy with them. for me it wasn't worth having the collector hang down which was what I saw with all of the long tube headers out there (crites I think)

Do the Ford cast iron headers that came with Interceptor motors fit convertibles? They appear to be great, if not heavy, headers.
