Hi, I got a 1958 tbird not only because of the incredible styling, but also because its a nice inexpensive classic to purchase and parts are easily obtainable.
Anytime though you want to do anything to the powerplant however, watch out! This area of concern is the monopoly FPA seems to have on headers for the squarebird. Is there any alternative to them... if you take a look at the two links, I included one to Sanderson Headers... as you can see they look virtually identical... only Sanderson is half the $$$ anybody have luck/tried Sanderson headers, can headers be slightly, "tweaked" to make fit?
FPA
Sanderson 1960-64
Sanderson 1965 up
also you see occasionally cast headers that are time period performance made for the 1960-64 galaxy, but those supposedly don't fit either... (plus their efficiency is questionable)
Thank
Brian
