302 Headers on an 1981 Bronco
Any header ideas about what is the best way to go with the least amount of re-work of the exhaust?
We are installing a reman engine and this seems to be the easiest time to do it!

i would buy shorty headers. they are much easier to work into the truck along with the simplicity of not having to re-pipe your exhaust. not to mention that its preaty challenging to put long tube headers on a ford 4x4 becasue of the x-fer case and the drive shaft (or at least in my case!) i had the long tube headers but had to send them back becasue they didnt fit.

Sounds like you are a member of the 'Been There, Done That' club!
Now if I can just locate them! I wonder if Pep Boys, Advanced Auto, or Auto Zone are acceptable choices ???

We're bailing on the idea for now... the existing muffler system had problems rubbing the frame and was hanging really wild... we replaced it with a Flowmaster exiting with two tubes on the passenger side... really sweet sounding now!
