Greetings,

I have a stock 76 fj40 with the 2F with about 88k on the odometer. No idea idea if those are original miles but it runs strong (minus the ford 2 barrel on it) burns no oil and doesn’t smoke. My only modification is a Mishi Moto radiator and a new water pump. I am going to install a Howell EFI kit (anlready have it) and wanted to know what a decent exhaust header to use as a replacement for my deleted/leaky manifold. I searched on the forum and got literally hundreds of pages which is makes my simple question complicated. I don’t plan on too much building out the engine other than possibly a cam and perhaps an intake manifold if it would benefit the motor with better more efficient power. If so, what intake would be a good choice. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
 
I don’t think there are many in production. JTO, Manafre, SOR maybe?, and Trimeki.

On my ‘67 with a 2F and aluminum radiator, I think I have some early version of what the JTO headers are, but they say Tri-Mil on them. No complaints at all.

On my ‘78, I’ve got the stock 2F intake manifold with the Trimeki headers (full exhaust, actually), and a sniper conversion. Stock radiator.

If I were to do this again, I’d do the Trimeki headers and ceramic coat them.
 
If you’re in the southern part of the Central Valley I’ve got a Man a Fre header with O2 bung and the rest of the exhaust system for cheap. I was running the Howell FI before I seized my F.5.

I am at the north end of the valley and an hour east. But, would be worth a road trip for the right price. Also, are the headers a direct fit to the 2F. Pictures?
