Thats cool.. You shouldn't have to replace your motor mounts on the frame, they should have 289-302-351W stamped into the bottom. I'm not sure if the rubber mounts are the same or not.
You should hook everything to pass emissions if needed. You might have to get a new y-pipe for the 351W, as it is wider on top. You can get rid of the whole AIR system, but, again, emissions
.
Make sure you get a 351W flexplate/flywheel for your tranny, 302s of that year are different.

new flexplate - what about ignition?
Have the new flexplate. Do I have to change distributors? and is there anything else (computer, wiring harness, etc.) that comes to mind?

I am not 100% familiar with 87+ years, but I believe you will have to change the computer to one from a 351W, and get a 351w from 88 to 92,93 (before they changed to MAF). 87 won't work, they were carb'd.

and now the exhaust
So - have the tranny and torque converter rebuilt, transfer case almost done. There is a crack in the exhaust manifold so I'm thinking maybe headers instead of replacing the manifolds. Doug Thorleys fit and have the quality I'm looking for but with lifetime guarantee they're over $900. Anyone know of a good quality header for a 351W that will last more than a few years without burning out that isn't that much?

I'm sure its possible, just mentioned it, since I sent back 3 sets of different long tubes that wouldn't fit my C6.

what about hooker or dynamax
My local garage suggested Heman as a possibility. Hooker has a set of super competition headers that are shorties that are supposed to bolt right up to the stock exhaust. I have read some really good reviews about dynamax but don't know anything about them.
The one thing that scares me is the number of stories about headers that had to be bent or parts that had to be moved because of improper fit so thats a big issue.
Also, is there a significant advantage to ceramic coated?
