Exhaust System
|
|
|
Exhaust systems remain an area with the most performance potential. Ford big-blocks are no
exception to this time-proven rule. If restoring to stock, then your answer is clear. You will need
stock exhaust manifolds and a stock exhaust system. Sometimes your goal falls somewhere
between stock and modified, in an area called “restomod,” which keeps the stock exterior
appearance while warming things up inside. When your goal includes enhancing performance,
there are original equipment and aftermarket choices. We’re going to help you make the right
decision.
“FE” engines were packaged with a wide variety of exhaust manifolds, depending upon application.
Only the 406 and 427 High Performance exhaust manifolds flowed well, thanks to their cast iron
header design. The thing is, these huge “bananas” don’t always fit every application. They fit a
Galaxie or Maurauder well, which is what they were designed for. But they won’t always fit a
Mustang or Cougar due to space limitations. This is an issue you will have to figure out for yourself.
|
|
|
The 428 Cobra Jet engines weren’t blessed with the 427’s abundant exhaust headers from the
factory. Cobra Jet manifolds didn’t differ much from the 390 High Performance manifolds since they
were installed in similar vehicles—Mustang, Cougar, Fairlane, Torino and Cyclone—with limited
space. This means extra care is necessary when shopping for manifolds. Pay close attention to
casting numbers and the part numbers the Ford Master Parts Catalog requires.
|
|
|
 |
|
The 406/427 High
Performance cast iron
exhaust header is a
terrific manifold for
stock installations. It
offers improved
breathing over
conventional "FE"
exhaust manifolds
without excessive
header heat. It also
offers a clean-looking
installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A good rule of thumb is to remember the cylinder head exhaust port bolt pattern when searching for
manifolds. Most “FE” engine cylinder heads employ an eight-bolt exhaust manifold mating pattern,
which is common with full-size Fords and Mercurys. Here, exhaust manifold bolts run 12:00 and 6:
00 positions at each exhaust port. A diagonal bolt pattern (14-bolt on the head itself, not the
manifold) was common to Mustang, Cougar, Fairlane, Comet/Cyclone and Torino “FE” heads. If you
find the diagonal exhaust manifold bolt pattern, you’ve found a 390 High Performance or 428 Cobra
Jet piece designed for an intermediate or compact. Although the 390 High Performance and 428
Cobra Jet exhaust manifolds may yield a similar appearance, they are not the same casting.
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
The 428 Cobra Jet exhaust manifolds didn't vary much during their 1968-70 production life. These
are C8OE-9430-A (right-hand) and C8OE-9431-A (left-hand).

This is one of the best books ever written about Ford engines.
Covering both big- and small-block Ford V-8 engines, this
first-ever book on the subject provides indispensable information
to the Ford enthusiast. Included are high performance factory
parts, interchangeability between Ford Windsor and Cleveland
engines, extensive coverage of the 302 and 351 series as well as
the 352, 390, 406, 427, 428, 429, and 460 big block engines,
factory casting numbers, etc. Read the sample pages from each
chapter to learn more!

"If you are trying to mix and match cranks and rods, this book
will tell you if it can be done. If you are trying to find the correct
casting number for a Boss 429 distributor, this book will have it
listed. What we really find appealing about the book is that, not
only is it a perfect resource for those interested in factory
correct restorations, but it is equally as useful for the
performance oriented engine builder. Each chapter points out
building tips, such as how to improve a Cleveland's oiling
system, or what heads will yield the best horsepower gains. As
with all SA Design books, this one is filled with pages of detailed
photographs and diagrams. This book will prove to be a
priceless resource, as many of the original Ford V-8 parts
become harder and harder to come by." -- FORDMUSCLE
