    I found a set of BBK long tube headers with a shorty H pipe for $150 on craigslist by me. Will these fit my maverick with a 302 in it. Thanks alot guys!!

    Not likely. The tubes on a late Mustang header come away from the head before turning down. Thus they will likely hit the shock towers.

    that was my fear, but I figured i would ask because the parts are at such a good deal, and BBK is a pretty good product. Thank man

    Headers for a Maverick are pretty much Maverick Specific. Most others will not fit.:)
