    427 long headers

    I know it is a long shot. But Factory five stopped selling the headers for the 427windsor, and I need a pair. If anyone has an extra set laying around, please let me know!

    I read in another recent post that Hooker unexpectedly stopped supplying the 351 headers to Factory Five. http://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showt...l=1#post271059

    Other than stock on hand, or another forum member, might be hard to find.

    GP Headers will make a set any way you want. Steel, SS, ceramic coated, etc. Only slightly more expensive for a similar steel/ceramic coated version. And without the quality issues that Hooker seems to have. I have their Coyote headers and they're outstanding. http://www.gpheaders.com/products/cobra-kit-headers/

    I would go with the GP Headers edwardb recommends. I have a 427W with hooker ceramic coated and the first set had a rather large crack in the ceramic. FFR got me a replacement but it was still a hassle.

    GP headers a are great, Gas-N also makes a set for $550. They are 304 stainless and made in the USA. All of there stuff is top notch and the price is very fair for stainless.
