I have a 93 T-bird that came with a 3.8. I swaped it with an 86 Mustang 5.0. I have the wiring all hooked up and everything is where it needs to be. But I ran into a problem. I didnt want to put on stock 5.0 thunderbird exhaust manifolds. I want to put on some nice long tube headers, but noticed when I started looking that there are NO headers for sale for thunderbirds. I found shorties that JBA make for $560. I looked at them and said to myself "they better be dipped in gold if I'm going to pay that much."
So, if anyone out there knows where I could find some long tube headers or even some nice headers at all that wont break my check book please, please ,please let me know. I was looking at other headers for mustangs and ordered a pair of BBK headers and the driver's side header hits the steering column.I was thinking maybe a pair of block huggers but I dont want to buy anything else until I know what will fit. If any one could help I would sure appreciate it.

JBA, iirc, is the only company that makes headers for thunderbirds.

actually, kooks makes arguably the best T-bird headers as well. but they are expensive.
