BBK Equal Length Shorty Headers

[fst 5pto]

Hey guys just wondering if the BBK equal length shorty headers will work the GT40P Heads? Not sure if I need to get new headers or if these will work. Thanks in Advance!

Found this post on the corral....looks like no equal length shorties work.
"I've personally through time have found that the shorty headers listed below fit with the mentioned results:

Motorsport-no problems high in cost
MAC shorty Part # E500940- do not fit GT40P, plugs touch the headers on #3 and #7 and come very close to the other plugs.
MAC GT40P specific shorties-fit great ceramic only $300
BBK Shorty- fit decent need to utilize 90 degree plug wires and #7 may still get burnt.
All equal length shorties have to many issues to list. If you want to go with equal length shorties you need to look harder a long tubes."

Here is a good gt40p head info page.

I'm gonna flat out say no on this one even though i have no experience with them....simply because it's tough enough to get to the plugs on regular heads let alone the P's.

I checked out Corral and it looks like there are split decisions on the BBK Long Tubes... anyone have any experience?

I know Mac 1 5/8" lt's for a 5sp fit decently well using a couple 90deg. plug boot ends. That what I ran on my old p head motor.

How big of a pita was it to use those?

Not that bad at all...just used a plug socket and box end wrench to swap plugs.

Brandon,

I think I may sell my Ford Racing shorties, (designed for the p heads) and my brand new UPR x-pipe. If you are interested drop me a pm or e-mail...I'll make you a good deal.

Also, I have the bolts for that intake that I forgot to bring with me. Send me your address and I'll drop them in the mail.
