Ford guys... Need headers for FE in a 59 Edsel Help.

I have 59 Edsel that currently has 223 inline 6 in it and want to put a Ford FE motor in it. I want this motor to thump and don't think stock exhaust maifolds will be enough for the cam intake combo I have picked out. I have manifolds on the motor that I will biuld for it but want headers but can't seem to find anyone who offers them for the 57-59 Ford 58-59 Edsel.

Any help in locating some would be greatly appreciated.

why dont you just put a sbc in it.

im sorry..im no help.i guess they dont make them for 57-59 fords either.

 

if you think its the same as a ford call these guys and ask them.http://www.critesrestoration.com/

by the way nice car.

 

These guys make nice shorty headers. They probably have what you need for the Edsel.

your doin the same thing i am about to do , only mines a 59 ford wagon . check out sanderson headers , i thought they made a block hugger type , if so thats the way i am goin . Or go wild and do a fenderwell s..

 

Thanks Guys.
I looked everywhere I could think of when I should have just started here in the first place.
The link brianf31 gave has the headers I need. they're a little pricey but also a hard to find item.

Thanks again

Another option would be the truck stock exhaust , they are similar to the ram horns .Kinda like stock block huggers . I did see some on e-bay too .

 

Thanks scooter.

I'm cosidering aluminum heads so if I go that route I would like some light weight tubular exhaust. I have stock FE manifolds out of My brothers 58 Edsel which was a 360 and a set off a 352 that I have.

If you need any thing for your swap let me know I'll try to help.

Thanks

heres a pic of my brothers 58 which will soon have a 5.0 roller motor.

 

ANYTIME ltd .. those are some cool longroofs !
Thanks also for the offer , i may just take ya up on that if needed . Turns out i maybe gettin a low milage t-bird donor .

 

Hey Dusty,
You were right we called all the Ford dealerships in town and none of them had an sbc to fit that 59 ford.They said they were only ofered in chevys

 

EASY fenderwell headers for a FE motor; Get a cheap set of headers bolt them on upsidedown (kinda looks like a drag boat) cut them off where they sweep up. Now change sides with cut off header, weld back on............OLDBEET

 

Uuhhhm....if yer tossin' those stock 352 manifolds...I have some cracked ones that sound crappy and need replacing...
