Advance Headers High-Performance Mild Steel Exhaust Extractors for FORD Cleveland 2V 302 & 351 V8 Engines
The Advance Headers Performance Exhaust Extractors (A250) are precision-engineered for classic Australian Ford platforms running the iconic 4.9-Litre 302ci and 5.8-Litre 351ci Cleveland 2V (2-Valve) small-port V8 engines. Spanning generational builds from the muscle-era XR-XY lines through to the refined XA-XF Falcon and Fairlane series, this heavy-duty tubular header upgrade replaces your highly restrictive factory cast iron manifolds. It maximizes exhaust gas scavenging velocity, eliminates high-RPM backpressure, and unleashes that signature crisp, deep Cleveland V8 roar.
PRODUCT CONTENTS:
- 1 x Heavy-Duty Mild Steel Performance Exhaust Extractor Header Set (Left & Right Bank Assembly)
Key Features:
- Tuned mandrel-bent primary pathways map perfectly to 2V small-port cylinder head geometries, optimizing internal exhaust velocity and throttle response profiles
- Substantially optimizes low-to-mid range torque acceleration—giving classic street cruisers, muscle restorations, and weekend drag builds a notable performance boost
- Heavy-duty mild steel construction structurally built to handle intense V8 engine bay thermal expansions and demanding street/track heat cycles safely
- Thick, precision laser-cut cylinder head flanges maintain a flat, ultra-stable mating footprint to permanently guard against warping and high-pressure exhaust leaks
- Engineered with versatile cross-platform routing paths to step around tight classic steering boxes, starter motors, and underbody structural floors cleanly
Specifications:
- Brand: Advance Headers
- Part Number: A250
- Material: Mild Steel (Standard Finish)
- Engine Suitability: Ford 302ci (4.9L) & 351ci (5.8L) Cleveland 2V Small Port Pushrod V8 Petrol Only
- Component Type: Performance Exhaust Extractors / Headers
- Estimated Fitting Time: 3 Hours
- Welding/Modification Required: No on floorpans (Models with column-shift manual transmission linkages require physical modification)
⚠️ Crucial Linkage & Model Adaptation Fitment Warnings:
1. Column-Shift Manual Linkages: If you are installing this kit onto a vehicle equipped with a column-change manual transmission, please be advised that the mechanical column linkages must be altered/modified to ensure adequate physical clearance around the trailing primary tubes near the firewall block area.
2. XR-XY Platform Alignment: When retrofitting onto early generation XR, XT, XW, and XY Falcon/Fairlane models, it is highly recommended to adapt a slip-joint assembly layout onto your downstream exhaust path to cleanly navigate tight clearance constraints surrounding early shock towers and steering boxes.
3. Cylinder Head Constraints: This product is engineered strictly for the Cleveland 2V small port cylinder head design. It will not align properly with large-port 4V cylinder heads or alternative Ford Windsor V8 engine blocks due to differing exhaust port dimensions and flange mounting paths.
Please Note: Professional installation by an exhaust specialist or qualified classic muscle automotive mechanic is highly recommended to guarantee proper system alignment and a perfect leak-free seal.
