exhaust clearance FPA headers

460 with FPA shorty headers is sitting in my 64 galaxie. I have a Lokar
cable throttle/pedal. It looks like a tight squeeze for the exhaust past
the cable connection to the pedal. Anyone have a similar setup? Did you get things to snake through there ok?

The upper control arm area looks to be a lot more different from the 68 than I thought or hoped they would.Love that lo-kar you got on there and thanks for the pics.

How do you like the headers?I have been thinking of swapping a 460 into a 68 mustang for a while now and was curious about their headers.

On a mustang, you'll want to be sure you've got clearance. There were a few tight spots on the galaxie. On the left side, I had to cut part of the front body support and on the right, one of the tubes had to be dented to clear the steering box. I imagine things are somewhat tighter for a mustang, but I do really know.
