I have a 69 fastback with a 351 cleveland and want to put my 4V heads on but am looking for a good set of ceramacoat headers. Anyone know of a good brand that will look and fit good?

I just put ceramic coated FPA's on my 69 Cougar with 351C-4V. Fit great - power steering, T-5 with hyd clutch. Had to shim the motor about 1/4" under the mounts to gain some extra room for the power steering cylinder.I am glad I got the ceramic coated as they are noticably cooler. Past experience with Hooker Competition in 69 Cougar with 351W was also good but I like the FPA's more. Ken

a BIG AMEN to that. when i finally had my headers fit in my coupe,i sent them to JET-HOT. you would not believe how much cooler the engine bay & cockpit is since that was done. it also helps the headers to last a long time instead of rusting out. just my old .02 ------------------ 34 coupe powered by 351 c 4v keith it`s nice to be important but more IMPORTANT to be nice.

Hooker Super Comps also fit real well. That's what I have on my '69.
