header install 302

Are there any issues with installing a set of headers on a 302 F150? Just want to make sure I don't have to pull the engine to get them to fit, etc, before buying them

They will fit fine, it also depends if you have a 4x4 or not. long tube headers and a 4x4 are difficult to find that fit right. I have had both long tube and short tube headers. My 85 f150 2x4 has a set of mustang shorty headers on it now. I prefer the short style, then mating up the rest of the exhaust. Long tube headers would be better if you are attempting a "Do It Yourself" kit with no tubing bender... I did my installation myself with a bender.
