The FE Mustang is a heavy hitter on the street and the track.

JBA Tri-Y Headers for 641/2 to 70 Mustang 289/302

The classic Tri-Y header for early small block Mustangs have been a popular upgrade since Shelby started using them on his famous GT350s.

Like all JBA products, they are made in the USA with quality construction and a precision fit. These headers feature extra thick 3/8" CNC laser-cut flanges on the head and collector to prevent leaks caused by warping.

The "Y" transitions are actual high flow merge designs unlike the swedged tube of other Tri-Y's. Each kit includes quality hardware and gaskets for an easy no leak installation. They are also available with high temp ceramic coating for the best thermal protection. Don't cut corners on your classic Mustang.
