    I was wondering if anyone knows of a company that makes race headers for a maverick. Every place I look at only sells 1 5/8s tubes, I would like to have 1 3/4 or 1 7/8. Please help me out. My car has a 351w by the way.

    you are outta luck

    You have to make a set or modify a set. I am sure somebody will chime in. Personally I would just build a set. That's just me....

    I have not gotten around to doing the hard side yet:cry:

    Try Crites Restoration, You will have to cut the center rib out of your
    shock towers, template and steel is included with headers. ,I had to
    modify 1 tube to fit on my 8.2 based engine

    Crites and Hooker are the only choices for 1.75" tubes.

    Crites is made for our cars to swap to 351w, Hooker is made for a 351w 1965-66 Stang. The Crites need a section taken out of the little rib that runs from the frame mounts to the shock towers. The Hookers need quite a few more little mods, but they have been done several times.

    Anything else is 1.50" or 1.625" tubes.
