    Just a quick question, I got my headers clened up and first coat of paint is on(paint is SUPPOSEDLY good to 1500 degrees F) Anyway, they came off of a '75 Mav with a 302 and auto. Will they work on my '72 mav when I put the 302 in? I'm hoping that since they are already bent for a Mav engine bay, they will work, I just want some of you that know mavericks(I know that ya'll are out there) to give input. BTW- should've mentioned that I am also running auto C-4 on the column. Thanks, Preston

    You had to go an throw in that bit about the column-shift at the last minute didn't you? :D All maverick engine bays are the same, but the drivers side header gets in the way (or vice versa) of the shift linkage. You'll have to use a floor shifter. If you get an aftermarket shifter you won't have to drop the valve body to flip the shift lever or locate the correct lever for the stock floor-shifter.
