Stainless Shorty Headers | Ford 289, 302 | 66-77 Bronco

Built for the Bronco owner who demands real-world performance gains without installation headaches, these Stainless Shorty Headers deliver a clean fit, stronger throttle response, and dependable durability on and off the trail. Engineered specifically for the tight engine bay of the 1966-77 Ford Bronco, they provide the flow your Small Block Ford needs—while keeping clearance and maintenance simple. Stainless construction, mandrel-bent primaries, and O2-ready collectors make these headers a forward-thinking upgrade for both carbureted and EFI builds.


  • Designed for 289 & 302 Engines: Direct-fit for 1966-77 Ford Broncos running 289 or 302 V8 engines.
    Will not fit engines equipped with 3- or 4-port air injector tubes (‘74–75) or 5.0 “P” heads.

  • Stainless Steel Construction: Smooth mandrel-bent 1.5" 16-gauge primaries feeding into 2.5" stainless collectors.

  • O2 Sensor Ports Included: The collectors feature welded O2 ports—ideal for EFI conversions now or down the road.

  • Heavy-Duty 3/8" Flanges: Laser-cut flanges resist warping and maintain a reliable long-term seal.

  • No Starter Interference: Designed specifically to clear factory Bronco components for a straightforward install.

  • Complete Hardware & Gaskets Included: Comes with stainless mounting hardware and premium laminated metal-core gaskets for maximum sealing.

  • Suspension-Friendly Fitment: Provides clearance for modified or lifted suspension systems.


Additional Info

  • Smooth-flowing primaries increase scavenging and improve usable torque, especially in early Broncos that spend time crawling, pulling, or pushing through steep terrain.

  • Includes ball-and-socket style flange connections for a consistent, leak-resistant exhaust seal.

  • No modification required to factory smog components unless your engine uses the ’74–75 air injector system, which is not compatible.

  • Always consult local emissions regulations when upgrading an exhaust system.


Your Bronco demands a header that fits right and holds up to real world use, our Stainless Shorty Headers deliver. Stainless construction, O2-ready collectors.

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.
