Header Question and Photo

[Rush]

I decided to buy a set of copper header gaskets and some ARP Bolts with the holes in the heads so I
can safety wire them.

When I uses to work on airplanes I had to wire up hundreds of bolts over the years, so I am used to it.
The bolts would never come loose, unless the wire broke, but it almost never happens.

I have no idea what kind of headers I have, and if they are any good. Also what does the threaded nipple
and pipe that leaves the header do?

I don't know much about cars or headers!

Thanks !!!!

is hard to tell what kind of header they are but, ima say MAC's.lol

and as far as the "hole" is part of your EGR system.

yes, you are right they do,the MAC's also look very different from what the OP posted.

Ford racing with the tag removed and painted?

These headers have oval ports and the engine has square ports. They were on the car when I bought it.

Will any gasket work to seal it up until I can get the proper headers?

I tried a copper square port gasket and it leaked like hell!

uh..that doesnt look right....i think the 4.6 motors had oval ports...

let us know how hard it is to saftey wire those. i've been thinking about the same thing. that would look sweet too.

Those look like they are modified to have the EGR... that tube is awfly short. I have mack shorties and the EGR tube is probably twice as tall. The ports to look very similar to 4.6 headers, but i thought the two couldnt be interchangable. Maybe someone did a backyard port job for some reason :dontknow:

Did they leak when you first got the car??? I think i am in agreement with everyone else i don't think there meant for the E7's or any of the GT40 heads
