Its architecture comes from the Windsor V8 family, which includes the earlier 260 and 289 engines. These three engines share similar head and exhaust port designs, meaning a well-made header upgrade will improve airflow across the entire family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause these Ford engines depend heavily on smooth exhaust flow to make power, replacing aging factory manifolds with performance headers is one of the easiest and most effective ways to restore energy, sound, and drivability to your classic car.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flashark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51797421162782,"sku":"FLES08297","price":242.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7171\/1262\/files\/ExhaustHeaderfor1964-1977FordMustangFairlaneFalconMaverickMercuryCougar260289302V8.jpg?v=1777493184","url":"https:\/\/platinumhpsolutions.myshopify.com\/products\/exhaust-header-for-1964-1977-ford-mustang-302cu-5-0","provider":"Platinum High Performance Solutions, LLC.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
