Anyone have experience with Red's headers on a 1951 Ford convertible with Fordomatic transmission? I haven't tried to install the headers yet, but it looks like the headers might interfere with the transmission shift linkage and neutral safety switch. Any thoughts on this issue? Thanks.

Have used Red's twice, no problems. GR8 fit etc. Did you tell them you have Fordomatic when you ordered ? Very important ! X 2 on calling.

I'm sorry if I misled you. I don't have Fordomatic, I'm just saying that Red's made 2 different set of headers for my stick with O/D cars and they were great. Again, give them a call.
