headers in a volare swap
 

what type are you using ? i know i have read it here somewhere, but for the life of me i can't find it now that i want too. thanks. i am running a 302 and want to upgrade to get the custom by cobbed lol ypipe out of there .

Mustang shorty headers fit very well. I used the 1986-93 style. Used stock shorties can be had on ebay for $25 or so. S/S so they clean up like new. If you are concerned with squeezing out every last bit of performance, there are numerous long tube headers that will work as well. I have heard of people using torino/fairlane etc headers from late 60s and early 70s. I wouldn't run far with that long tube recommendation though. You want an exact P/N if you go with long tubes. Headers that don't fit well are nothing but grief you don't need.

I used Flowtech ceramic coated Block Hugger headers in my '59. Not a cheap alternative, at $256.99, but I had no trouble making clearances except with the full-sized starter, which appears to be universal, and had to get the smalller of the two available. They continue to look, sound, and perform great.

thanks guys , the price really doesn't bother me too much . i figure i'm into it this deep that it really doesn't make any sense to start scrimping now . now if i can just part with the money for a digi cam so i can post some photos lol. thanks again.

Borrow some kid's phone for the pix!

forgot to ask equal or unequal length headers . and i like the idea about the phone . i didn't even think about that , different generations . boy am i showing my age .

I'm using Sanderson headers with my 400 and Volare clip. However, given that there are a number of 302's out there, you shouldn't have a problem choosing from a variety of headers.
