    Hedman 88300's should work. Even though the ports are raised, I'm told that most off-the-shelf headers will still fit.

    those are some nasty heads for a 302! I like mine....on the windsor. That thing outta scream!

    Those hedman's are too small for the ports; HUGE PORTS, also they are square ports on Victors . I am running Hedman's now.
    The Maverick has a best of 12.06 at 110 mph and these should pull me into the 10's

    Headers

    Try Hooker Super Comps.
    I'd call them direct if it were me.
    Good luck!

    DIY?

    Well in that case, have you considered a weld up kit?
    Lots of work, but this is the end of the season and you'll have all winter to get them done.

    You'd probably be better off in the long run to make your own. It's not as hard as people talk it up to be. If you have any experience with tubing it's a breeze.

    might even be cheaper than Hookers or Hedman hustlers or Elites. Would probably work better too. Just my .02 FWIW
    What heads are you running now?

    Right now I am running 1970 351W heads with 194 intake 160 exhaust ported and polished , shaved 30 thousand's for 10.5 compression!
    On a 306 engine . Bought the Victor Jr's with the raised ports, they have huge exhaust ports that match fel-pro #1487 gasket . Anyone know what hedder matches this?

    Hey Killercomet are you sure that is the correct part number for the headers...I couldn't find 88306... could they be 88308? Hedman Elite headers.
