    I might have some satisfactory news on headers for a 351W in a maverick with no shock tower mods. I have been looking around on the net and I found this information.

    Sacramento Mustangs
    order 800-442-8333
    info 916 334-0190

    Note: This info is from an old (1989) performance catalog supplement.

    They list a custom header for 64-66 Mustang, Comet, Falcon, and 70-76
    Maverick and Comet applications. They might be sourcing the headers
    from Total Performance (or their supplier) since they show several
    other swap headers that TP sell (like the 64-66 351C headers).

    They also have a generic listing for 64-70 289/302/351W Tri-Y headers
    and list a power steering adapter.

    Total Performance
    44050 N. Groesbeck Hwy.
    Clinton Township, MI 48036-1108
    313-468-3673
    313-468-7434 fax

    Note: This is from a 1989 price sheet.

    Part number 8009 is listed as fitting 60-66 Mustang, Comet, Falcon,
    70-78 Maverick and Comet applications with 351W's, 1 1/2' primaries.
    Also list 64-66 351C Mustang swap headers in 2V or 4V flange.

    The website URL that I got this from is http://www.mustangsandmore.com/ubb/DanJonesEngineSwap.html

    This summer I plan to see how true this is :bananaman.

    I believe Total Performance sells headers made by Tubular Automotive. They are 1 1/2" tubes.

    Hawkco you are right! TP's headers are made by Tubular. The only reason to by Tubular headers from someone other then Tubular is you can pay with a credit card, Tubular will only make headers for people if they pay in advance with a check.
    Their headers are just as bad to install as anyone else's, I installed the 302 Boss swap headers in my Maverick when I first build it, it was just as much a pain in the ass as the 6208 hookers.
