6901 Hooker Header

I just had my 77 maverick (302) in the muffler shop. I looking to have them install them. Once they had the exhaust manifold, they said it was to tight to get it in. Is that normal that its suppose to be that tight?

 

Also are there any shorty header for maverick?

 

To get the drivers side header on you have to remove the motor mount bolt and raise the engine a few inches. Hopefully you don't have PS or column linkage.

 

A search for Maverick Headers would reveal this:

There are also a lot of threads devoted to the header subject.

 

Got to raise the engine up as far as possible to get headers in from the bottomside. Hedmans go in like butter this way.

 

Thanks mercgt73, I know how to use the search but I was looking for a specific answer for my specific car bc I couldn't find anything on my year and wanted to make sure.

Are they the hedman 88400?

 

Baddad457 was there anything special I need to order with it like a bracket for the power steering

 

Don't know, I converted mine to manual steering.

 

If you have p/s you will need a drop bracket.

 

Yup, p/s cars have to have the drop bracket for the steering cylinder to clear the headers

 

Does it make if its a hooker bracket or hedman backet

 

Shouldn't make a difference.Summit sells them also,and I've seen them used on the 6901's.It's just a plain bracket.
