I am new to forum. I have a sentimental truck that must live on. My nephew fried the v-6 in a truck that I bought for my dad on his birthday in 2000. They were going to send it to the scrap yard. I DON'T THINK SO !!!
I found the perfect doaner vehicle. 98 Mountaineer. Very happy about that.
However all of the listings for headers stop at 1997. What is the difference on frame structure from 97 to 98? I say 98 because of the mountaineer.
Everybody in my shop is impressed at how everything will seem to fit.
Monstertorque seems to have a good set up. But I don't want to spend 789.00 for a set of headers. Anybody else have a less expensive direction?
It will not be a show truck. It will be a ZZZZZZ sleeper. No stainless or coatings required. Thank you for any experience you may be able to share.

 

I exhausted pretty much every option when looking for headers for my swap. The Torque Monsters are pretty much the only option over stock ones unless you go full custom. I just ordered my set this week actually. Current wait times are 8-10 weeks. You can also pay half when you order and the other half when it ships.

 

Thank you for your time. I guess I better get to ordering.

 

Yeah other than custom they are like the only ones that fit and even custom ones will be close to if not more expensive than the torque monsters plus I'm sure you at least get some kind of warranty on the TM's
