SFFiredog, I know installing headers on a mustang with an FE is a bear, I've had several but this animal is different. I was told the port should be the same height as a 428CJ but I have a CJ in my cobra and the distance from the bottom head surface to the top exhaust bolt hole is considerably higher on the 427 thereby making the front header tube on each side closer to the shock towers. All of the previous FE's I've had in mustangs had SOME clearance, but this is tight against the towers.
