I was most likely going to use a x pipe but would it work right if it was mounted alittle after the t-case, sorta under the bed?

 

They make slim x pipes so you can keep the exhaust going down one side.

 

I was planing on going down both sides of the truck. I still have time to decide on how I'm gona run it.

 

Remflex header gaskets? Anyone use them? Or the stage 8 locking header bolts broncograveyard sells?

 

Proper header sealing:

1) If using stock E7 or GT40 heads, use regular stock Fel-Pro, Ford or Victor Reinz replacement gaskets.

2) The big one. Locking bolts are not needed as long as the header surface is true. When the surface is not true, the bolts work their way loose. If the surface is not true, take it to the machine shop and let them machine the surface true. If your headers are ceramic coated, return them to the manufacturer and exchange it until you get a set that is true.

3) Measure the depth of the bolt hole on the head along with the depth of the header flange. If it is deeper than 1 inch, do not use the 3/4" length bolts that came with the header and buy 1 inch header bolts. Bolt the header up to the head using the front and rear holes and two of those 3/4" bolt and stick a red brake cleaner can straw in it and measure it. (that's how I measure mine).

All of this will keep you properly sealed.

I know you don't have a 302, but I have a thread for 302s that goes into great detail and may cover quite a few questions that you may have in the future. https://www.f150forum.com/f10/bit-in...l-302s-276512/

 

It's not gona be getting done for awhile yet. Still gota fix my rear....just trying to get tips and everything first. I wana swap the cam out new timing chain water pump and gaskets.

 

That's why I love my obd1 computer. No egr and it runs great.
That sucks. Egr is for tree huggers!! Lol jk

 

I'm not sure how my buddy's mustang reacted to him getting rid of the egr. But guess I'm gona have to keep it....

 

Not sure if I'm off topic but.
I installed headman headers on my 95 5.0EFI XLT because the stock ones had a crack. The weather isn't too bad here in CA but PB blaster helped. They fit perfect. I suggest taking out the dip stick tube before installing the left header. Makes it a lot easier to install.
Engine wise, everything else is stock.

 

How did they sound and did you notice any power gain? I live in pa. Soo I got rust!
