need 302 pics
I'm putting a 302 in my 52 F3 this weekend and I wanted to see some pics of others that have done the same. I keep looking at the steering box and hoping the sanderson headers I ordered are going to work. Can someone with the same type truck with a 302 or 351w post a couple pics for me? Mainly the headers and the clearance for the steering. Thanks.

Which Sanderson headers did you get? I was recommended the FF2 and even asked twice if they would clear. Of course the drivers side hit. The FF1 should clear. Since I've changed my chassis I'm glad I have the FF2 though.
I don't really have header pictures. First pic is my 302 in original frame and 2nd is of my later frame. I like how the 302 fit much better.

Thanks for the reply. I was told the ff2 would fit too so I ordered them over the phone. A few days later I took some measurements and it didn't look like the ff2 headers would fit. I looked at their website and it recommended the ff1 so after reading your reply I called them and told them the problem. They sent me a set of the ff1 and I should get them by wednsday. Thanks again.

Sanderson Headers
I'm putting a 460 in my 55f250, I ordered headers from sanderson at the begining of the month 8/3/2009 I still have no headers (ups ground) I talked to the folks at sanderson, they told me they shipped on the 21st, my invoice shows they shipped on the 7th, they told me I should get them by the 1st of next month. How long did it take for you to get your headers?

I ordered the first set (the wrong ones) almost 2 weeks ago (8/17) but they didn't ship them until a week later (8/24). They shipped it last monday and my ups tracking says I will get them this comming monday (8/30). The second ones they shipped yesterday (8/27) and I should get them on wednsday (9/2). I had to call them a couple times to find out what was going on with my first order.

Sanderson Headers
My invoice says they shipped on the 7th of this month, but when I e-mailed them they told me if I didn't get them by 19th to call them, so I did when my headers didn't show, then they told me they shipped on the 21st, should be here be the 1st of the month, not sure what is going on.

I don't see why it should take so long to get theose headers shipped out to you.

Sanderson Headers
They didn't give me a tracking, although the person I talked to said he was tracking it from where he was at, guess I should of asked, at any rate they should be here today.

Good. I'm supposed to get mine tomorrow and I can't wait. I'll put some pics in my gallery as soon as I get them on.

I have to agree. They fit good. They are a little rough though.

Just curious how are the Sandersons "rough"? I've installed dozens of headers and seen many more (I work in an exhaust shop). I haven't seen any that come close to the build quality of the Sandersons. I know they aren't top of the line race headers but those go for over $1000 pair.

I agree. They aren't a bad looking and they fit great. There;s just some spatter and some welds that could have been cleaned up some. It's nothing that can't be fixed. Overall I'm happy with mine. It's just that they were a little rough.
