I used stock 94-98 v6 headers on my fox 83 stang and I used a 99v6 h pipe.
In hindsight that was dumb. I should have stuck with a true fox 5.0 h-pipe. I had
transmission crossmember clearance issues because of that H. You should have
better luck with a fox H

A friend with a 96v6 mustang used a fox 5.0 h-pipe. I've known of one
other guy who did it too. It's not a perfect fit but it's close enough to work. |

Assuming makes an ass outta U and me. 
Lift up the center section of the H and tighten the collector studs/nuts and
watch where it pulls it. Try to guide it if you can. Clamp the h-pipe
together lightly. Once everything is in place, put some heavy spot welds
on the seam of the H where the two sides come together. Drop everything
and seam weld it, then throw it back on. Muffler clamps are geh toe and
always end up leaking. I've had a few customers come in needing that
welded up because it leaked, then they clamped it more and it leaked
more.
Good luck! |

Why not run longtube MAC headers? they are made for thr SN95 body so fitting the bird should be easy. I will be running a set on my 4.2 conversion in my 83 stang conv and they look like they will fit
just asking

Different headers on a V6 is wierd. More Flow = Less HP. Everyone else is trying to reduce backpressure while we're trying to gain it. :oops: |
