Is this a Downey header? Will it work on my '68 FJ40 F engine? (1 Viewer)

[Dallas Todd]

This header came off of another F engine, a '72 model. It looks similar to a picture I've seen of a Downey.....my question is: should this work on my '68? I did a test fit, some of the down pipes rest against oil outlet....is that proper fit? Thanks in advance for any help!

Here's a couple header threads in which Downey's founder comments on Downey headers. Downey Header info

Thanks, it certainly looks like the pictures in those other threads.....don't know why I'm getting interference between pipes and oil outlet....

Does test fit mean bolted all the way up with a gasket? You might just find that there actually is clearance there. Minimal but not rubbing.
