Ceramic Shorty Headers | Ford 289, 302 | 66–77 Bronco

Performance, Fitment, and Durability — Everything you expect from WILD HORSES.

These aren’t just headers—they’re bolt-on horsepower. Specifically engineered for WILD HORSES to fit 1966–77 Ford Broncos running Small Block Ford 289 or 302 V8 engines (note fitment exclusions below). These ceramic coated shorty headers deliver improved exhaust flow for serious low-end torque and horsepower gains. They also fit later model Ford 5.0L engines. With easy installation, no starter interference, and a proven design, they’re the perfect choice for your Bronco build. Our advanced ceramic coating helps keep under hood temps cooler.

Constructed from heavy-wall 14-gauge steel tubing with 3/8" flanges and a thick steel collector dome, these headers are built to last and perform. We include all hardware, gaskets, and 2.5" starter tubes to get you on the road or trail fast.

For optimal results, consider adding our optional Header Enhancement Kit, featuring Stage 8 locking header bolts, Remflex header seals, and spark plug boot protectors—each designed to solve common header issues and keep your rig running strong.

Asked by Rodney, May 10, 2020

Q: Do these headers have 0-2 sensor ports?
Will they fit 351w ?

Answered by sales - May 11, 2020

A: 8006 does not include O2 Bungs. Part# 8007 is the same header, but includes start tubes with O2 Bungs. Yes, but may interfere with the passenger inner fender. Most headers will be tight somewhere with a 351W. Usually nothing that cannot be adjusted or moved.

Had to use a rat tail file on four of the header mounting bolt holes to properly install on the engine. Nice looking headers once installed.

First I want to thank Wild Horses for there customer service and prompt delivery of the headers I ordered. The shorty headers were very easy to install just as was stated to me when ordered. My Bronco now has that sweet sound I was looking for along with the added performance. Thank you Wild Horses and I will be ordering more parts from you as I continue to build my Bronco.
