After doing the shock tower mods I want to upgrade! Is there any easyfit 1 3/4 headers for a 302? List any make and part# if possible! 88300 Hedman 1 5/8 are on now Thanks Richard
There are guys here that have used Hooker 351w swap headers on 302s, and there is a big tube Crites header that has gotten high marks from a few here. I am sure they will chime in, but those are the two options. The Crites are easier to install from what I understand. Hooker 6208: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=HOK%2D6208HKR&N=700+0&autoview=sku Crites, PN unknown: http://www.critesrestoration.com/mustang.htm Edit: Crites is $160 cheaper! Just noticed that. The Hookers have gone up drastically. They weren't that high last I looked.
Doug's has a step 1 3/4 to 2 1/8 listed on Jeg's #776-D669Y-R but I don't know if it would fit? Has anyone tried these?
I believe those are Tri-Ys. So you have 2 primary pipes going into one 2.125" pipe, then those 2 pipes go into your collector. I tried a set of 1.5 into 1.75 into 2.5 Tri-Ys on my 72. They were for a Mustang. They didn't work on the driver's side. My clutch linkage hit them and the pitman arm of the steering crushed one of the secondary pipes.
I'm curious, how big a motor do you need to run 1 3/4" headers? From what I've learned over the years, that would be huge for all but the biggest of small blocks.
