Side view of the early Ford manifolds. Advance Adapters conversion headers for the 2WD Ford Ranger
Stock Ford Explorer V8 manifolds for most smog controlled vehicles. Early stock Ford manifolds that fit with our motor mounts.
These mounts are designed to work with both exhaust headers and or stock manifolds. There are two styles of manifolds
that fit these vehicles. The Ford Explorer manifolds fit well and provide the correct emission controls for smog in most vehicles.
For vehicles not concerned about smog, the photos below show stock cast iron Ford manifolds that also fit well; however,
the vehicles that these stock Ford manifolds were off of is not known. If you would rather have an exhaust header, we also
manufacture a header to fit into Ford Rangers. Part number 717044A and 717044A-NP are custom headers designed for our
mounting system. When installing a V8 with our headers, the passenger side header is a tight fit. We recommend that you
set the passenger header alongside the frame rail before setting the engine into the engine compartment. The driver's side header
can be installed once the engine is in the proper location. Once the engine is installed and leveled, bolt both headers to the block
and check clearances.
After the exhaust system is bolted to the block and you've check for clearances on the block and exhaust, secure the motor
mounts to the cradle.
