Headers for a 1988 Ford 460 engine

[shaunswim]

I am rebuilding my Ford 460 Fuel Injected engine and would like to put a set of headers on it to eliminate the manifold issues. The only ones I can find are Doug Thorley headers. Very expensive. Any suggestions on an alternative that someone maybe using. Summit Racing shows Headman headers for it, but after talking to Hedman they said they only fit carburetor versions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't run off. A couple of the guys here have gotten 460 headers recently. You're better off with headers that have long tubes, which promote low/midrange torque. That's what you need for a heavy load like a motorhome. The more popular, and less expensive, "shorty" headers are for HP at high rpm.
The Thorley Tri-Y headers, which come with a crossover pipe to a large single exhaust system, are the gold standard in Class C headers. Them and Bank$. Is your vehicle subject to emissions testing? It's possible that the emission system on the EFI engine calls for a different emissions complying system than the carbed engine does.

I had Banks headers on a '96 460.

Banks used to carry a couple kits for the FI 460. I remember looking at them when I had a '90 truck.
