I've got several older threads, but looking at options for 5.0 headers. I read the Mustang units work and aren't a log type. These are relatively cheap. I'm not looking to make stupid power on a future 5.0 build, but curious about headers that fit the 5.0.

Are most 5.0 Fox body headers ok with the steering mod?

What else works well?
 
Past reading on Fox body headers on TSTSNBN, told me that the passenger side could hit the k member, so make sure they sweep back on that side. Driver side is generally going to be the steering issue, or up against the frame.

If you're not going above 400ish HP, 1 5/8" primary tubes are plenty. You should absolutely only look at long tubes. Shorty headers are mostly a waste of time as there is no scavenging effect.
