Headers...?

So I found a heck of a deal on a set of 302 headers, however there’s no info as to what year 302 they fit and all that special info. Are there any differences in exhaust ports or spacing from an older 302 compared to one that would be in a mid 90’s Ford pickup? Anyone info would be highly appreciated because I’m picking these up tomorrow evening.

EDIT: They’re hedmen headers for an f-100

The ports should be the same... it is the geometry of the header meeting the Y-pipe that is different across years/models assuming you are talking about shorties.

They’re long tubes and I plan on making a custom exhaust, I just want to know if they’ll bolt up to the heads and fit

Yes, they will bolt up fine to any 302 head, other than the GT40P heads. Might even bolt up fine to GT40P's but you won't be able to change the spark plugs in that case, without removing the headers.

Be aware that most headers will not have provision for EGR if that matters to you.
