Ok all you tech guys! Here's a question for you.... I have a 73 Comet and it has the original manifolds on it. If I put an HO 302 out of my husbands 87 Mustang in the car, can I use the shorty headers out of the Mustang or will they fit between the shock towers on the Comet. And still be able to get to the spark plugs! I mean, they are a pain enough to get to without making it harder on myself. Has anyone done this with the shorty headers off of a Mustang? If so, can you please post a picture? I would love to see how it is done without cutting the shock towers. My husband says that I won't be able to do it with the shortys and that I'll have to either use the original manifolds or go with long tube headers. Thanks in advance for any info!
Nope, someone tried them once a long time ago and the collector didnt fit, also one of the tubes was hitting the steering box. If you want shorties, get a pair of Hedman 88400. Or if you have funds go for the Doug Thorley shorties. They have bigger tubes, their coated, and they were designed by a member on here.
Awesome!! I have Hedman's that came off of my Husband's Mustang! But, I don't know if they are the 88400. How can I tell?
They should have a part number on them. If not google "hedman 88400" and the images will pop up, then just compare.
Ok. Thanks for the info. I'll check into the Hedman 8400's. That's not what I have. The ones I have are twisted. I was just hoping not to have to search around for some headers. But, I do like the Doug Thorley shorties, Maverick75! Thanks for the information! That really does help me a lot!
Thank you, Don! My Husband was saying something about Hooker Headers. Will have to check them out too!
