input needed

has anyone ever used these headers, I have searched the forum but can not find anyone that has used these

wondering what fitment would be like with them on my '76 that I am converting to V8

Well I really dunno, but looks like the pipes at flange extend outward far enough that they would hit the shock towers, that's the reason 5.0 Mustang headers won't work...

 

so I would need to go with something like these

or maybe these

There are headers made specifically for our cars with either a 302 or 351W! Are you looking for something different?

 

I am not very good at the internet search thing

can you post a link to ones that fit the mavs

 

The huggers won't work as the aim directly into the motor mounts...

 

The following are two examples for our cars with a 302/5.0L application:

I personally have the Hooker 6901s.

 

so the power steering bracket is required?

 

Yes, if you have power steering. I switched to manual steering. The PS extended bracket solution is not very robust.

If I were to use a PS drop down bracket, I believe I would weld it rather than bolt it in place so it could not work loose.

 

Flow-tech long tube headers # FLT12100 will fit. That is what I have on my '74.

 

I`m not a big fan of any tri y header especially if you are looking for HP,I`ve never seen a dyno article on any motor that showed they perform well.

 

Here's one, I couldn't remember what thread this was in.
