Early Bronco Ceramic 5.0 Shorty Headers w/ O2 Fittings

Fits Small Block Ford 289, 302, 5.0L V8

Bolt-On Power. Trail-Tested Fit. Stainless Steel Durability.

Built specifically for 1966–77 Ford Broncos, these WILD HORSES Ceramic Coated Shorty Headers are engineered to fit like a glove and perform like a champ. We designed these specifically for use with late-model fuel-injected Ford 5.0L engines. Can also be used on an early 289/302 V8 with EFI conversion where O2 sensors are needed. These headers deliver improved low-end torque and horsepower while clearing common problem areas—no starter interference, no installation headaches. Our advanced ceramic coating helps keep under hood temps cooler.

Perfect for performance-minded Bronco builds, this set includes O2 sensor fittings, making them ready for EFI conversions. Heavy-duty construction and precision engineering mean you’re getting serious gains in power and reliability, all while maintaining a clean, professional install.

Pro Tip: Avoid Common Header Problems

Headers are a fantastic upgrade, but they come with their own set of challenges. Make sure to consider:

• Stage 8 Locking Bolts will completely stop the header bolts from loosening, saving your gaskets from premature failure. Normal header bolts tend to come loose and that leads to the annoying tick, tick tick, from the failing gasket.

• Remflex Gaskets for superior sealing and heat resistance. 100% flexible graphite construction means these gaskets are good up to 3,000°F - these gaskets won't burn out.

• Spark Plug Boot Protectors to prevent burnt plug wires and boots that can lead to misfires, resulting in a lack of power and poor performance.

So, with all that in mind, you may be thinking, 'why should I bother running headers?' Probably the original reason you were looking at headers was for the power, performance and mileage gains. You can have that without the headaches as long as we add a few extras to the project. If you just want to do the slam dunk, grab our Complete Header Enhancement Kit for a trouble-free, power-packed install!

Tech Notes:

• Not compatible with 302 engines using 3 or 4-port air injector tubes (these are sometimes found on 74–75 Broncos as part of the emissions systems) These headers can be modified to fit by grinding clearance on the header flange.

• Not designed for 5.0 "P" heads

• Always keep existing smog equipment intact where applicable. These headers do not require any modification of the smog system to render it inoperable—check local laws before ordering.

Whether you’re chasing horsepower, prepping for EFI, or just want a solid performance upgrade, these WILD HORSES Ceramic Shorty Headers are built to deliver—on the street, trail, or anywhere in between.
