Need some help/opinions ASAP

87FloridaGT · August 2nd, 2009, 07:14 PM

What do you guys think of these (this is the opinion part)?
And will these fit a stock 302? Also how hard would it be to get the headers I have right now off and to put these on?
Right now I have some equal length shorty headers...dont know what brand as they were on the car when I bought it.

Without further waiting:

why on earth would you go from shorty headers to shorty headers?

fateisajester · August 2nd, 2009, 07:27 PM

they "should" fit, but you never know until you try. if you are having problems getting them in or the old ones out because of clearance issues (usually the passenger side is easy) what i usually do is loosen the motormount bolt on the side that you are having trouble with and put a jack under the engine and a lift it by the oil pan... make sure you use a block so you dont dent the pan. if you do it correctly, it will tilt the engine to one side and give you more room to maneuver the header.

Well the ones I have are rusty and look like crap...also the passenger side has an exhaust leak at the gasket.
I am also tired of the equal length look under the hood as it looks cluttered. From what I heard the equal length does not flow as well either due to all the bends in the pipes so I dont want equal length anymore

equal length is better fyi, i vote pull them off clean them up and replace the gaskets, 30 bucks for some good aluminum ones

I've never liked the way equal length looked either. I don't think those hedmanns are ceramic coated and they prolly won't stay looking very good for long.

fuck equal lenths.

Get some BBK 1515's.

There are some on ebay that are stainless, and come with all hardware and gaskets for 175. Plus they fit if you choose to swap to a p head later.

its all about the scavaging effects of the equal length runners as opposed to the unequal length

thank you sir

im all about cheap dude, especially when it involves cars and modding adds zero value. Just clean them up, chrome headers wont look very good after awhile but since when do most foxs look good under the hood anyways? If you ever shave your enginebay and have a pretty motor get some pretty headers
