I think I remember reading that the 289 hipo manifolds are easier to use in the earlier model Fairlanes then headers. In fact I believe they are recommended. I'm not certain the performance differences, but as far as fit is concerned, they should be great.

I am using reproduction Hi-Po manifolds from Mustangs Unlimited. When I got them, I port matched them and coated them with a high heat manifold paint. One thing you may want to do is grind slightly so it is easier to get the socket on the spark plugs. Only a couple of them were a problem.
