I found some really nicely built stainless steel headers that fit the 2003-2006 Lincoln LS and Ford Thunderbird with the smaller 3.9L V-8. These should fit the S Type V-8. Regular and supercharged. I e-mailed the vendor and they would like to try it out. They are located near Cleveland, OH. Just too far away for me to try it out.
Here is their web site: http://www.stainlessworks.net/cart/p...oducts_id=1723

Reason: need header changed to correct spelling error. Header not hearder!
I doubt they would fit as the engine bay would be different, so clearance would be an issue I would think as getting to anything now is almost impossiable....
That's what's so interesting. The engine compartments and mounting points were identical when the Lincoln LS and the S Type came out. Look at this diagram showing what the cars shared. Everything is there but it would just take something small to make them not fit.
I want to get a set and then if they don't fit the STR I could put them on the wife's LS!!!

The engine bays are the same for ls and stype, dimensions of engine are the same, suspensions are for most part the same with some changes to sway bar diam and bushings. I dont see any reason you couldnt put a set of ls designed headers with cats into an stype. I would talk to them and ask if they would be willing to work a deal on a set to check fitment and take pics and notes. Hell the cost is only slightly higher than 1 factory jag u wire cat

Yes the engine bays are the same I previously owned a 2006 LS v8 and a 2002 LS v6.
The only thing we have to see is if the V8 ( Na ) Lincoln or Jaguar has the same exhaust ports as the V8 Supercharged.
Na and sc are the same heads, cams different, jag u wire (ford) didnt spend money to cast/tool different heads.

I still wonder about these things, since no one I can find has even got a pic of these things. The best I got was an underside pic that was supposedly a Thunderbird. Can't really tell though. I'll see if I can find it & post it up.
Stainless Steel Header for the S Type V-8?
