The good news: FFR's 5.0L Coyote headers also have the bolt batter for the 4.6L.
The bad news: They don't fit! At least not without cutting off part of the flange. I was disappointed by this because they are coated. So cutting into the metal defeats the purpose of having them coated.
ALSO
They require different j-pipes - an extra expense
AND
They require the steering re-locator - also an extra expense.
None of this was communicated when I went to buy the headers. FFR agreed to swap the j-pipes for me (but the old ones still cost $40 to ship back) and gave me a discount on the re-loctor. After all said and done it would have been much cheaper to go with the 4 valve headers and adapter plates from Late Model Restoration. *sigh*
BBK Headers from FFR and J-pipes arrived.
The flange is bumping the head so it will need to be modified.
This was my first sketch of what needed to be removed. It actually wasn't enough.
Here I'm cutting a little more after test fitting.
