63 Fit Headers

So Reading The Post On Headers,i'm Getting The Idea That The Hooker 6134 Will Fix My 63 Farlane 289.with Out A Lot Of Problems Cutting Shock Towers Ect..{is This True }any Budy Do The Installation .have A Nice Day Paul.

I bought a set for my 65.I haven't installed them yet,but was told that I will have to move my power steering hoses and possibly move the power steering cylinder.I did test fit the passenger side,and it slipped right in...

I put a set on my '64 a few years ago. I had a little floor to collector interferance on the driver's side, but have not heard anybody else complain about this. Everybody seems to love them. I do not have power steering, so cannot comment on that. Changing plugs is significantly harder now.

hi !!!! I was going to buy the hookers for my 63 coupe and kept starring at the one tube that went over the header mounting flange and over the other tubes on a pic from the web and for reasons of easy access to the plugs,purchased the doug thorley tri-y's... they fit perfect on my 306 four speed... don't know if I gave up torque and HP, but with 13/16 motorcraft plugs and 90 degree boots black msd plug wires it looks real good !!!!! BTW my other two mavericks have hookers 6901's and they fit perfect also !!!!

Thanks,a Bit More Research But Its Looking Like I Might Take A Shot At Them This Winter.i Case Of Fabracation Neebed I 'll Have Plenty Of Time.have A Great Day Paul.

I put the Hookers in my 64. They fit great. I don't have power steering by the way. Plugs and wires are a little tricky. Just take your time, I did have a few plug boots not get securely snapped onto the plugs.

Also fabbed up a couple of angle wrenchs for installing the header bolts.

The Hookers are great headers. A little troublesome getting the bolts started and tightened.
The power steering ram will need a special bracket to lower it a bit. All headers need this bracket on these cars, same with all the other cars that use the same power ram.
And actually, Tri Y headers are better then 4 into 1's . They make more power and torque. Look at NASCAR, they are ALL Tri-y's for this same reason. 4 into1's are just easier to get the tune right and easier to manufacture and have become more popular, then tri-y's .

wow I was thinking that tri-y's would be down on power compared to the 4x1's tube set up...cool

The Hooker 6134's are for a 4 speed cars only and forget about changing the plugs as it's a nightmare.I've used the Hooker 6901 Mustang headers with great results and they fit nice plus you can do tune ups as required!

The 6134 will go on a column shift car..I have one...
