They will answer, everyone is business.


The question, though basic, has a simple and a complicated answer!

Simple Answer First.

The round bodies will take any 200 header designed for a 1960 to 1980 X-shell Ford. Thats anything with the uni body and coil over A arm suspension. Ie Falcon60-70.5 , Comete 60-69, Fairlane 62-68 , Torino 69-72 (uni body), Maverick 69.5-78, Granada 75-80 , Monarch 75-80, Versailies 75-79 .

Complicated Answer Second.

When you have a 250 six, a specific header is required, and its difficult to define what one will work. You can get headers from Hooker and Clifford, as well as FSPP. There are conspiring issues with starter motor and drag link and frame rail contact if you are trying to use them in early Fords from 60 to 62.5. Ford reworked the internal structure to incorporate the Fairlane plenumb, firewall and drag link parts.

Happy hunting!

So my 65 falcon would be fine with the headers for sale right now? Just asking cause the website has a big warning that the headers have trouble fitting in on earlier models, but that later big block available would work. I'd assumed he was talking about mustangs, in which case the 65 would pretty much be the same engine bay as my falcon correct?

OK, I'll say the Pacemaker headers should fit a 144-200 in a roundbody.

They will also work with an Aussie 250, but I understand the US 250 starter placement causes problems.

Any header installation is complemented by a gear reduction starter, with heat shield.

i ordered the clifford header with port divider and have done a mock-up [sort of looked] i think it will fit ok...i hope...

i forgot to add, i want to go with a magnaflow mufflers and x or h pipe with the tips that split into two quad at the rearvalance anybody offer any sugg? thanks always

Do a search on X pipes or something of that matter. I remember reading a good post on this subject.
My 250 low starter didn't like the Clifford style header, which fit my 200 high starter perfectly.

Sorry for the late reply, somehow I didn't see this topic last night.

If its a 200ci, the Pacemakers will fit, but hit the firewall. However, just shorten the pipes a little and they'll work fine.

I tried to e-mail, but it bounced back twice. Not sure why?

I have a 62 Comet with a 200 and the Pacemaker headers, they fit fine and don't hit the firewall. The only problem I have is that when I turn hard left the center steering link hits the bottom of the header and vibrates. i don't know if anybody else has had this problem and how they fixed it but those headers should fit in your car.
