The FX-196 is an extractor set listed to fit the Ford F100 from 1979 with the 351 4V Cleveland V8, 2WD only. It's the uncoated version.

What does this header set cover?

This replaces the cast factory manifolds on the F100's 351 4V Cleveland V8, listed from 1979. The listing is clear it's for the 2WD truck only. This is the plain version of the set, without the ceramic coating found on the FX-196HPC-S.

What are extractors and what do they change?

Extractors swap the restrictive cast manifolds for tuned tubes, giving each cylinder a clearer path off the head before the runners merge. On a V8 like the 351 Cleveland that's the classic first exhaust upgrade. It changes how the engine breathes and sounds rather than adding any guaranteed figure, and the system behind it still does its job. The 2WD-only fitment matters because driveline layout dictates clearance, and we don't publish power or sound numbers.

Will it suit my F100?

It's listed to fit the Ford F100 from 1979 with the 351 4V Cleveland, 2WD only — it is not listed for 4WD. Confirm your year, engine and drivetrain with the workshop before ordering, as the 2WD restriction is firm.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits truck header sets like this and checks the manifold flanges, the tubes, and the clearance around the 2WD chassis before the join to your existing system. The MPI Automotive RRP is listed at $1,234.82; talk to us across the Illawarra and we'll confirm availability and book a fitting.
