Headers for a 1988 Ford 460 engine

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

I had Banks headers on a '96 460.

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.

JD, I know the Banks and Thorley system are expensive alright LOL. We don't have to test for emissions here.

As I mentioned, a couple members here have recently considered headers and some got them. Give this question awhile to soak, and you may hear something helpful.

A remark by Jose who may be at work and can get back with you later.

Sanderson headers. Keep in mind good headers are not cheap.

Heddman headers are a winner. The flange is steel (a little over 3/8 thick) and the tubes are nicely welded. The increase in heat coming off the headers is a major issue, though. If you want to wrap them, remember that moisture under the wrap (which contacts the headers) makes for a lot of rust. You should have them either ceramicoated and wrap, or buy the heat shield matting like I went with.

They are long tube headers, so you might need to fabricate a new exhaust up to your mufflers. Use an H-pipe with them too. Really helps smooth out the pulses and evacuate gas. I would go with the Heddman's again in a heart beat, but I would wrap them before I mount them. It really is a pain trying to get that wrap on there when they are in place.

Yo! Jose! I looked at Amazon, and saw some of the Hedman Hedders looked like long tube. But I don't think any were spec'd for 460 in a "van." Which ones did you actually get?

I just built my 1988 Gulfstream's 460 (carbureted). I used Flow Tech Headers from Holley for a F-250 4x4 and to my surprise the fit perfect. I was worried about the left side due to the shift and emergency brake linkages. But I don't know if the Carb headers and the FI one are the same.
