header to motor question

if the 85 is a 302 4x4 i couldnt see why not. some problems may pop up though, when i put headers on my truck, one hit the driveshaft, and the other one hit the starter. so some heat, a 4 ft. pipe (for wrenching the header away from the drive shaft) and a mini starter will take care of my problems.

these are for and 85 (same part numbers as 87 with no smog) so if theres no smog pump on your motor get the ones with no smog tubes on the headers. i image that you have the cast e7te heads. they have been the same for years.
