Ive got a 1970 with a 351c 2v. Currently looking for recommendations for aftermarket exhaust manifold.
The entire exhaust system has rusted out areas so I plan to replace it all. There seems to be a lot of options. If anyone has any recommendations id appreciate it.
If your manifolds are rusted out you have a lot of rust in areas we don’t normally see rust in. Typically the pipes rust long before the manifolds do. FPA and JBA offer some good replacement headers if you want those.
JBA didn’t offer anything for Cleveland’s back in 2016 when I was looking to replace my cracked exhaust manifolds. I don’t see anything now either. FPA does offer Cleveland specific headers but are expensive from the costs Stan shared with me in a call last fall. I have used Dougs long tubes and Sanderson shortie headers on my Cleveland (manual trans, R&P steering) though the change from stock steering to R&P did not work with long tube Doug’s
Huh when I click on this it says 351C all over it……1967-71 Ford Mustang/Fairlane/Torino/Cougar 351C 4 Barrel Heads Manual – Pertronix
Those appear to be for the 4V Cleveland. Back in the mid 80’s as a teen, I had a 1971 Mach 1 with 351-4V motor. When putting a new exhaust on, I screwed up and put the 2V gaskets and couldn’t figure out why I had an exhaust leak.
Here’s a set for 2V: https://www.hedman.com/mustang-headers?cpable=1&ProductAttributeID2[1000450]=24338&YearID=1970
Royce-those are the Doug’s Headers I initially purchased. No connection to JBA back before they were sold.
