Hi guys,
Today Karma really kicked my butt.
We were gonna swap the long tube headers for shorty ones that I bought some time ago from a member on another forum and they don´t fit.
Problem is that they are too wide and don´t clear the shock towers.
Now, you know that I live in Europe, so I need to make sure it actually fits before I order something, because I cannot send it back.
The other thing is, as some of you might know, that I have a new 351 Windsor (Ford Racing crate engine).
Here´s the problem: Our cars never came with that motor, so no need to shop for 71-73 351 headers, because they will be for the Cleveland, and no use shopping for 351W headers, because I don´t know if they will clear all the parts under the hood.
The rest of the exhaust is simply a stock Mach1 repro, that we will have to adapt to the headers, no problem there.
So, does anybody have shorty headers in their cars on a 302, or even better on a 351W? I know some guys here have have 351Ws in their cars, so....
Or can anybody recommend shorties for a 71-73 302 with enough flow capacity to match a 351W that is not too hotrodded?
Any help is appreciated because my car now blocks my buddy´s lift and the old exhaust is off and partly cut up, so time is an issue.
Thanks!
