I am a newbie to this forum, just registered moments ago. Have a '50 Ford F1 that I am reworking. Have installed a rebuilt 302 with Holly 600 and MSD distributor. Looking to install headers but I am unsure as to what will fit. I tried some Hedman Street Rod Huggers 88420 but they banged on the motor mounts and the starter, so I returned them. I would prefer some full length headers, maybe Hookers but unsure as to what will fit. Does anyone have a '50 pickup with headers on a 302 and what headers did you use. Any help appreciated.
Just one off many kinds, but seem to fit, Sanderson Ceramic Silver Coated;

Designed to fit 1927 and up automobiles with a small block Ford engine with Windsor heads. This header will fit any rack and pinion set-up and Mustang style steering. Works best with early Mustang motor mounts. Includes all hardware necessary for installation.

I'm using stock exhaust manifolds from my '90 donor; with no problems. MII front cross member, maybe blind luck, but there doesn't seem to be any clearance issues.
This is a fairly common question on FTE and there are lots of threads about it. I'm not sure if you have enough posts to use the search function or send Private Messages (you need 25). But it comes up regularly and has a lot of discussion!
Hey Old! I think this was a record for this question - what 10 days? Time for the gas sending unit question again!
If you can't find headers that fit, 65-68 Mustang exhaust manifolds work well. That's what I'm using on my 49 F-1 with 302 and Volare suspension. They also clear the big Chrysler steering box.
