Tailored precisely to fit the late-model small-block Ford 5.0-Litre (302ci) Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) Windsor V8 engine housed within the AU Falcon series (including early XR8 models) alongside the NU Fairlane flagships, this premium upgrade replaces the highly restrictive factory cast iron manifolds. By maximizing exhaust gas scavenging velocity and significantly lowering backpressure, it unlocks noticeable low-to-mid range torque, crisper throttle response, and that signature Windsor performance growl.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-block\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-content pb-6\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #e60000; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003ePRODUCT CONTENTS:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Heavy-Duty Mild Steel Left-Hand 5.0L EFI Windsor Extractor Header Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Heavy-Duty Mild Steel Right-Hand 5.0L EFI Windsor Extractor Header Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngineered specifically to seamlessly integrate with AU-generation factory Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) intake plumbing, steering rack positions, and engine bay accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced clearance profiling accommodates performance GT40 and GT40P cylinder head configurations smoothly when utilized with right-angled spark plug boot leads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuned mandrel-bent primary piping pathways ensure completely uniform internal flow geometry, optimizing gas velocity and eliminating heavy factory casting restrictions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty mild steel construction structurally built to handle intense engine bay thermal expansion cycles and high-vibration V8 street applications safely\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThick, precision laser-cut cylinder head flanges maintain a flat, ultra-stable mating footprint to permanently guard against face distortion, thermal warping, and high-pressure exhaust leaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"flex flex-col space-y-2 text-xs\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003eAdvance Headers\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003eA62\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003eMild Steel (Standard Finish)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eEngine Suitability:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003eFord 5.0L (302ci) EFI Windsor Small Block V8 Only\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eCylinder Head Architecture:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003eStandard Windsor Heads (Fits GT40 \/ GT40P with 90° Boot Leads Only)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eComponent Type:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003ePerformance Exhaust Extractors \/ Headers\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eEstimated Fitting Time:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003e3 Hours\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eWelding Required:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003eNo (Direct Bolt-On Configuration to Cylinder Heads)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ Crucial Cylinder Head Variant \u0026amp; Plug Lead Alignment Warnings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. \u003cstrong\u003eGT40 \/ GT40P Spark Plug Clearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e While this product (Part No. \u003cstrong\u003eA62\u003c\/strong\u003e) is engineered to clear standard factory Windsor head castings, it is space-mapped to allow fitment onto higher-flowing \u003cstrong\u003eGT40 or GT40P cylinder heads\u003c\/strong\u003e (native to factory AU XR8 and Explorer platforms).
