headers fit?
Got a '87 (truck) 302 in my '50 F1 pickup....Question: Would a set of Flowtek headers listed as being for a " 69-79 Ford F100 302".....bolt onto my block ok?
Don't think there will be clearance issues otherwise. If there happened to be on the steering shaft, I would just cut/reroute and reweld anyway.

A lot of headers come real close to the starter motor. This has caused early starter failures. I think one of mine comes close enough to one of the terminals that I had to wrap duct tape covered with foil around it to prevent it from touching. You can avoid this problem with one of those compact PM starters.
