Headers Clearence

[Robsweden]

Hi

The headers in my 73 came with the car when I got it.  The clearence to the ground is about 5 inches. It also barely clears the motormount and steeringbox on the drivers side. I Think they are Hookers headers. Is there headers out that will fit better on the 73  with 351c 2v ? One tube had to be smashed a Little bit to make clear the motor mount. If I hit speedbump or something similar its probably godnight. Its this a custom job to make them are can I pick them up in a shop ?



Regards Rob

My headers from headman had to be "tweaked"! As well as the motor mount to fit and it is as very tight.

Those might be hooker super comps. There should be a plate on one of the primary tubes that identify them as hookers.

Here is a write up I did comparing hooker super comp and hooker comp.

High quality Headers. There are numerous posts here regarding them.  If you have stock 2v heads, you will need the 2v version.  If you have aftermarket heads such as the TFS 2v heads, you can use either the 2v OR the 4v FPA Headers.

Yes, I am absolutely 100% sure about this info.

They (I have the 4v version) will give you more ground clearance than your stock oil pan.
