69-74 Ford Truck Headers 302W

The FLOWTECH 69-74 Ford Truck Headers 302W (part #12500FLT) deliver genuine performance gains for full-size Ford trucks equipped with 302 cubic inch small block engines. These full-length headers replace restrictive factory manifolds with 1.5-inch primary tubes that flow exhaust gas more efficiently, culminating in a 3-inch collector that feeds a smooth transition to the exhaust system. The result is increased horsepower, improved throttle response, and a deeper engine note that reflects the mechanical work happening under the hood.

Built from mandrel-bent steel and finished in durable black paint, this header pair handles the thermal stress of continuous exhaust flow without warping or coating failure. The 1.5-inch primary diameter is engineered specifically for 302W displacement and RPM range, optimizing scavenging at the power band where these trucks operate. Installation is straightforward—gaskets and all necessary hardware are included, reducing downtime and keeping the project budget predictable. At 31.9 lbs for the pair, the headers are substantial but manageable for a two-person installation.

These headers are purpose-built for 1969–1974 Ford full-size truck platforms running 302 small block engines. Whether you're restoring a classic F-100 or upgrading a work truck's breathing capacity, this header kit addresses the single biggest restriction in the stock exhaust path. Street driving, weekend cruising, or towing applications all benefit from the improved exhaust scavenging. For anyone serious about extracting performance from a 302W without major engine modifications, this is the foundation every build should start with.
