69 Ford Falcon Help Needed

calboys2021 · 10-26-2007, 09:21 PM

We acquired a 69 Ford Falcon that we have just put a 1969 351W in. We are wanting to run headers, but are not sure what will fit. We had been told that headers to fit a 66 Ford Fairlane should bolt right on. Does anyone have any information?

I used Shelby Tri-Y's on my 351W in a '68 Falcon. They fit with no problem.

'69 is pretty similar to a '68, isn't it?

I used Hooker Super Comps in my '68 with 351w and C4. Converted the P/S to manual, tho'. I don't think they ever would have fit with P/S.

On mine, I have to have the passenger side header loosely bolted to the head before installing the trans. Drivers side is no problem.

I could probably dig up a part number if you think you want it.

Any help with part numbers for the Hooker Super Comp or the Shelby Tri-Ys would be helpful. We are just getting conflicting info from different companies who sell.

On the Hookers the part number was 6111, on Hookers (Holley) web site it's 6111HKR.

Hope that helps a little.

Thanks Murff for the super comp part number

The '66 to '70 Falcons all had the same size engine compartment (similiar to the Fairlane). I have been told that a big block would fit without having to do any surgery.

That's a lot more room compared to the '60 to '65 Falcons.
