    I have a 302 with dart pro 1 heads...I am having a hard time finding headers that are compatible with these heads....any help would be much appreciated! I have a 71 Mav and do not want to modify the shock towers.


    thanks guys!

    I bought a Mav from a previous owner that has the Dart iron heads... he said he had to get headers for a 351..

    Those are some pretty nice heads and anything you end up bolting onto them will likely come with some compromises. Probably not a real big deal if it's not race only and ultimate power production isn't a main priority.

    This link is pretty wordy(thanks to me).. but there is some info on similarly raised ports if you have the patience to read through it. Even without raised ports being added into the equation.. fitment into these cars is usually hit or miss. Grinder, hammer and a welder go a long ways towards massaging them into place.

    IIRC, the iron heads aren't cast with raised ports.
