Old Ford 351m Gets Headers

Finally getting around to putting the headers on the Old Ford 351m.
The ol truck put up a pretty good fight this weekend, I will say that.
Started with the passenger side because iv been told it was the hardest side. Turns out it wasn't to bad at all to take the old manifold off. To put the new header on that side was a little tricky but not to bad. Just simply had to unbolt the tie rod end and move it forward, unbolt the starter and kinda move it to the side along with the starter wire and it went right up into place.
Driver side on the other hand, Not a successful day for this project.
After exhausting all options I had to get that bolt out I was still unsuccessful. So for this video I give it a 80/20%. 80% YEEHAAW and 20% FROUNY FACE. But... Stay tuned for another update video on this project coming out soon.

Show the header installation on drivers side

It’s about 20 bolts then wiring harness to get the front clip off although if you’re by your self it’s probably not the best idea

I ordered the same headers and they fit great but once i put on the starter it no longer fit.

I heard you have to take the motor loose and jack it up to install headers. just wondering if you had to

[Gustavo-nukq]

Did you notice a power difference with the headers?? Considering doing it if it’s worth it due to horse power differences

[slabbusterrtr]

Very chocked down motors smog motors is what they were

Did you made a video of the breaks replace master Cilynder ?
I like to get a link of it to replace mine .

[NdiazTRD]

Wes, has your starter overheated/ burnt out since you added headers? Ive heard Thats a side effect of running headers on this motor?

[darronmecak]

dood you need to clean that shed up so you have some room

[RicardoGomez-xgry]

I heard by leaving the truck on for a while so the bolts can be hot they will come right out! Might be better idk

You have to start from outside in .too much pressure on the bolt .and the extensions take away all your torque
