    Default Headers for Capri VS Mustang

    I was told that headers for a Capri are not the same as the headers for a mustang. I have a 1981 Capri that came with a 2.3 and now has a built 306. I would like to change the headers, but would like to know if I can run any header that fits the Fox chassis or are they Capri specific. I have plans to change the K member prior to this swap. TYVM for any info.

    Whoever told you that sits on a throne of lies unless they were referring to some other generation of Capri that was not mechanically identical to the same era Mustang.

    Perhaps they were referring to exhaust differences between the 2.3 and 5.0....can we give them the benefit of the doubt

    Likely it was the odd ball 85 headers which does not work well with the other years ie 86-93.
