Just did a search for RCI Headers and evidently, they are no more. Sounded like it was pretty much a one-man show, and he passed away in 2022. My condolences to his family.

Oh. Wow. That is sad news  on RCI.    I do have a old set of FE  Fox headers. Might have to find another company I could send them to to have copied. I'm new to this sight don't know if I can post pics of the mounts they can be easily fabricated

Thanks for your interest in the heads.  I expect to be delivering the last sets from my first batch of orders in the next couple months, and will be starting another production run mid summer.  I am keeping a list of people who are interested in being in getting some from the next production run; email me at jayb@fepower.net if you want to be on that list.

I recently acquired this oil pan, it came with a 445" package deal. The guy claimed he made it to go in a foxbody. Rory this sounds similar to the oil pan you describe?

If one of you fox body guys needs it, I'd sell it. I have no use for it, just had to buy it with the rest of the parts.
