headers
Hey Matt
I'm not sure about the defference between the Mustang and the Bronco headers for the 302(5.0)engine. But the ones that I had bought seem to be the shorties. They bolted right up to the stock configuration. I got them from Vic Hubbard Speed & Marine. I paid $219.95 for them. They have a parts store about 45 minutes from my home, but they do have a web sight at http://www.vichubbard.com/ you also might want to try http://www.summitracing.com/
I did do a little shoping around before I got them though. One of the places that I looked into buying parts at, which I wont do because of over pricing, is 4 wheel parts wholesalers. At 4wheel parts they would have charged me about $80 more than what I paid for on the headers. Plus they had a lot of young kids working there that didn't really know what they were doing to a certain degree.
Hope this helps.

I bought a set of the Mustang headers for my truck, & I can definitely tell you that they will not bolt up without modifying the front pipes of the exhaust system. I bought the Shorty headers for mine from Summit Racing, They might have a set to fit your truck, if not they can probably tell you who to contact.
