which headers for 93 302?
You wanting direct replacement or ???
Direct replacments] - BBK, FMS, Flowtech. Drop in swaps. Not much gains but better than manifolds. The more you pay the better the quality.
Long tubes] - Hooker and Hedman, pretty much everything custom from the collectors back. Most power lowend and topend. I have Hookers as do a few other members.
Others] - BBK or FMS Mustang shorties clear the frame fine, bolt up to the heads fine, but will not bolt up to the stock y-pipe. It is cheaper to buy used Mustang headers and have a y-pipe made than to get the $400 direct replacements of high quality.

Equal lengths make a tad more upper RPM power than unequal lenghts. I'd opt for the equal's it the price is very close but would not spend more than $25 for a set of equals over unequals.
Bassani's are nice products but for $350 for direct replacments...I can get used BBK unequals for ~$150 used and have a high flow y-pipe made for well under $200. The Mustang BBK's with the custom y-pipe will make more power and cost less...
