Those are the ones I took off (stock 5.0 mustang 'headers'). $20 and they are yours. They could use a wirewheel and some high temp paint.

And since this is my thread, you should buy them from me instead of Colman

are these long headers or short?

[william_ace]

short

[85cj7]

short

so they will bolt up to stock collectors and y-pipe? 2 1/4" (i think)

si, you just need really good gaskets cause they tend to leak

Through a strange course of events I got today off and drove back to CS to work on it some more. The wiring harness is hooked up. The upper intake is cleaned up and bolted down. I cleaned it and painted it with some high heat aluminum. I thought it might look ghetto/chrome, but it actually looks really good, like a new part. Core support should go on this weekend

Waiting on a new throttle cable, egr block-off plate, and ps pump

I need a new steering pump, but do not want to fork over for an AGR. I am thinking about this pump...

I think this is just an improved version of the stock pump.

Ryan, don't you know how to modify these to flow more?

only the saginaw's, but i heard a lot of good thing about using that bolt in saginaw pump but i cant remember if you need a new high pressure line or not. I know on the bronco once i put ram assist on it there was no need for more flow

those are saginaw pumps. you just take the fitting off the back and they come apart like the rest

[JB]

I plan on going ram assist here shortly, but I need a new pump to start with so I think I am going to get that one.

Apparently you need a high pressure line from a 78-79 bronco.

Well make sure the saginaw pump you get is from a 70's vintage vehicle because (at least Chevy/GM) used flared connections with SAE fittings in the 70's but switched to o-ring connections and metric fittings from 81 to present.

hey john i heard those arent all that great. i have a buddy who has gone through 4 already in 2 years. 2 just snapped the shafts on it. what i did on mine was find a power steering/ AC bracket from a e150 van with the same engine as my truck, installed that and got the pump from the van. they come stock with the saginaw. then i got the high pressure line from the van also, they follow the same route as the truck/bronco pressure line untill it gets to the pump. thats another way to work it anyhow

[JB]

so e150 pump is a sag pump, but will only bolt up to the e150 bracket? I assume I would need to find one with a 302 or 351? What years?

[william_ace]

yes it is a sag pump.

-Saginaw pump and bracket come from 1987-1997 ford 302/351 vans.

-302 and 351 are the same bracket so it won't matter which one you get.

but if you search on FSB there is a sag pump that you can buy that bolts up the your current bracket, it is an A-1 part and i think all you need to do the swap is a new high pressure hose
