Scott Drake Stainless Steel Tri-Y Headers for 1965-1968 Mustangs with 289 and 302 Engines.
New from Scott Drake are these stainless steel Tri-Y Headers. Over 40 years of Mustang modifications have resulted in endless configurations and drivetrain combinations, but we believe this product offers the best overall fit available. All tubes are CNC mandrel bent, then carefully placed in a precision-engineered welding jig for a perfect assembly and fit.
The Tri-Y Headers will fit automatic and manual transmission Mustangs with large and small bell housings. Extra clearance has been provided for various starters and there is no interference with the shock towers. In addition, these headers provide full articulation of the steering assembly without interference.
Unique features included are extra thick 3/8” flanges to prevent warping, metal-composite flange gaskets, 1-1/2” primaries, 1-3/4” secondary’s and 2-1/2” Collectors. Reducer cones with gaskets (which taper to 2”) and all necessary mounting hardware are provided. Other features include mounting flange bolts that can also be easily accessed.
*Note: Mustangs equipped with power steering require a slave cylinder lowering bracket (SCB).

The quality seems great, is just what I was wanted for my 65. Nice polished finish on the pipes, not the flanges. Headers, flanges, and reducers are all stainless, hardware is not. I used ARP bolts to heads, and regular 316SS bolts in collectors. THE PROBLEM IS the number 7 cylinder pipe does not clear the Edelbrock 6022 (60229) heads on my engine. I bolted them up to a stock 289 head and I can slide a piece of paper between the head and pipe. On the Edelbrock head, it actually holds the flange away from the head so it would be a massive leak. I am contacting Edelbrock engineering to see if I can get a 3D cross-section of the head below #2 (#7) exhaust port/spark plug, to know if I can machine a dimple in the head to clear the #7 pipe. Other than this OOPS, I am very happy, for half the price of JBA SS.
